Expected Attendance for Next Game Against Cinci

[libby_arts]

Last night there were a lot of empty seats in the middle of section 210. It is a shame when they leave so many seats open with views of the 50 yd. line. If they are buying season tickets and not showing up they should give them away. Just my feelings on this.

If we get 25k to 30k I'll be happy. Actual numbers were around 18k last night, which was disappointing.

That said, winning our last two games will give Harlan and the athletics department a lot to sell. I know a lot of former season ticketholders are disappointed with the new arrangement, but perhaps they can find a way to get them in. 

We're not in the Big East anymore. 30k will be a great turnout.

No.  It sucks.  Memphis and Temple are averaging 50K, ECU and Cincy over 40K.  Granted those are announced and they probably fluff numbers some, but it's still more than we have.  We should be at top of AAC in attendance. 

 

A few years ago we had 63,000 for a Cincinnati game.

Hope it's a big crowd, but thought last night would have been bigger. Will probably be a slow increase in attendance. A lot of people probably still don't trust Taggart. Still have 20+ games of bad taste in their mouth. He'll earn the support back though. He's figured it out.

Should be about same as yesterday.  Maybe a little bigger.  Tampa Bay Area casual fans like undefeated teams, and we have 4 losses.

Cincy will have a lot more fans, unlike Temple. So, the attendance will go up for sure.

So the announced crowd last night was 28k ... but the actual crowd was only 18k...

I would not expect a larger crowd next week.

Next Friday is round 2 of the Florida High School Football playoffs.  There's 8 or 9 Hillsborough county teams remaining and I think 14 or 15 teams total still playing in the Tampa Bay area.  I've no doubt there will be a good turnout, but it's a shame this game isn't on Saturday.

High school football should NEVER be 

a reason why our fans don't show up.  Not stirring the pot or hating, but  anyone who uses that excuse other than a parent of a player playing in a high school game  is weak.  Also glad the game is on Friday, (Makes us  one of the few games on National TV at that time , night, unlike Sat when its a full slate of games).

Same #s... If we finish strong then you will see an uptick next year.

Getting above 30,000 announced for the last game would be great. Slow and steady progress is still progress. We'll definitely see an uptick in season tickets for next year.

I hated losing to Cincy in the Big East. Hope we pull off a long awaited home victory against Cincy this Friday.
