If there is not at least 50k there next week then it will be more evidence that USF needs an OCS. ECU had  good crowd at their OCS so USF should follow suit

It has been proven time and time again that an OCS does not equal better attendance.

Ugh...I can already see where the direction of this thread is going.

Seems like consensus for attendance is pretty far apart. 

I can't remember the last time I was pleasantly surprised by attendance. It always seems to disappoint me and there is usually a variety of excuses. Attendance has dropped to an all-time low, culminating in the SMU game.

I don't understand how people can expect 50k+ at this game. We had 15k last game, I'd be expecting about 20-25k (30k I'd be ecstatic) for this game. Even though that's criminal as we are in the hunt with a fairly realistic shot at a Conference title for the first time in our history. But I'm learning to accept.

Huh? Got a link to support this?

OCS means a kid can walk over from his dorm to go to the game. Non-OCS means you have to coordinate a ride. The Bulls #FAIL at college life every Saturday an OCS isn't erected.

Me and the wife will be there with the little one like always. I just bought a ticket for my dad as well and I'm trying to talk my sister and bro-in-law to come too!

Since the student section makes up a small portion of the total attendance, the fact that they can get up and walk over really has no bearing.  But here you go:

2014 average home attendance figures:

Boise State - 32,504

Colorado St - 26,575

Houston - 28,311

Kansas - 34,077

Marshall - 27,461

Memphis - 33,851

Nevada - 23,862

Purdue - 35,269

San Diego State - 32,406

SMU - 21,528

UCF - 37,812

Wake Forest - 27,210

Those are just a few.

 

I want on OCS as much as anyone else, but let's not pretend it will be an attendance panacea.
