JMO. But winning in the Sun Belt and its schedule does not inspire fans to attend. And if they do attend, the game day experience is mediocre at best. Winning alone does not generate excitement. Our product does not sell and none of that is ever addressed by the athletic department. It is simply put on a game and hope people show up. And, if they do, they may not return because of the in-game experience. We should easily avg. 30,000 fans a game, instead we struggle to get 15,000 - 20,000, then lose them following a loss. We should be like E. Carolina with a 50,000 seat stadium and avg. attendance over 40,000 even without significant winning seasons and with 4 other P2 schools in their state, UNC, NCSU, WKU and Duke. Hard to imagine doing that in the SBC, although App State and JMU seem to find success with it. Maybe with the right leadership we can.

Can you explain how we should easily avg 30k fans?

This should be interesting.

This should be interesting.

To be clear, I'm not trying to be critical. To date we have seen nothing work to get us averaging this amount of fans so I'm not sure what could even be done anymore. There are pockets of comparable schools to us that do so but there is a reason that this is an anomaly and not repeated elsewhere.

I 100% agree with you on this.

Create "Fans of The Game"

The disinterest you see now is the end result of "Everyone Gets a Trophy."

No trophy, no interest, unless you are a fan of the game.

Piped in music guarantees you can never "create" fans of the game.

How many people here didn’t attend UL? And didn’t go to games while you were there?
