Wow. I don't know the numbers, but I'd guess we didn't have much fewer than that at Michigan State or Wisconsin. I am considerably disappointed in our fan base for not remaining dedicated to supporting the team in person for an in-state road trip game. This will be a significant blow to our opportunities to sign home-and-home series with P5 opponents, considering it is already clearly becoming more difficult to do so. Such poor fan travel/ticket sales is not looked favorably upon.

Complain to the USF Admin who reefused to sell tickets to NON USF Season Ticket holders. They also refuse to sell tickets to Alumni that live out of town unless they buy USF Season Tickets. Stupid policy.

I agree dumb policy. We are in no position to turn people away.

Pathetic, but nobody can be blamed for not going to see the team get slaughtered. Prove we have a worthwhile team, Willie, and they'll come.

I'm part of, and probably representative, of the problem. I am a die-hard USF fan, but I couldn't bring myself to drop the money on tickets, travel to Tally, sit in the heat, and endure what (based up

Neither is finishing 128th in offense two years in a row.

1. It's an 11:30am game in 90+ degree weather and full sunshine.... if that's your cup of tea then good luck to you. I'll be in my house with the AC... cheap food... and my HDTV. I'm not paying good money for gas, lodging and tickets to see USF get beat down... and that's what going to happen. In 2009 we were a much better team... this time not so much.

 

2. The P5 question is irrelevant. FSU has already stated that this will be the last home and home they sign with us. Other P5 conferences are starting to set rules where their OOC games have to be against other P5 schools. There are enough Virginias, Vanderbilts and Washington States in the P5 conferences for them to not have to schedule any G5 teams.

No good way to look at this, bringing 11-12K LESS fans is not a show of support in any way.

My guess is just a few students show, and that is most depressing of all, last time tons of USF students made the trip.

Does USF even have an official tailgate for the game?

The Alumni Association does have a "tailgate" but it is more of an "event" than a traditional tailgate. The Voodoo 5 boys made a bus trip but it arrives very close to game time. The best USF tailgates, IMHO, are the grassroots ones thrown by fans. In the past, the Bulls Outfitter tailgates were the best. A large group of us are getting together in the Civic Center parking lot, but that's just fans trying to make something happen when there isn't already a true tailgate.

FYI. I'm going but buying through the secondary market. Tickets in the same section(14,15.16)  are about 1/2 the $65 price USF was selling them for.

The team is terrible

It now plays in a conference that has no real shot to make playoff

FSU saw attendance dip too when they had their swoon and they weren't dealing with relegation

 

 

the product is terrible and subpar

 

it will be a miracle if usf keeps football

I am blown away by this. If USF had an official policy of selling FSU away game tickets only to season ticket holders, then there should be a significant collective complaint placed. That would be the most short-sighted, foolish, and uncalledfor policy we've seen from them... and that's saying something!

Meanwhile the UCiF Kniggits requested additional tickets from Stanford to fill out demand.  Them clowns are going to bring more fans to a game across the country than we bring to a game across the state.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
