We are senior citizens and I want to know where the students were. There were very few students there Agreed. Pitiful attendance by the students. Not even half full (maybe closer to 1/4 filled). I know we have sucked, but I remember it being impossible to find a seat by the pirate ship in my day ('03-'06). They have to be there plain and simple. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. The reason I really think they added it was to make the venue more attractive for future Super Bowl bids. The shading like Miami would be great but I imagine that's a huge cost. $500 million in renovations to be exact. http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-dolphins/sfl-dolphins-hurricanes-ready-to-rock-hard-rock-stadium-20160817-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season was over and USF was once again resigned to afterthought status after that. The people on this board and a few die hards are the only ones that care about an AAC championship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes not all 6 of the people in our group can attend, but I'll give them away free to coworkers, other friends etc. I've gotten a couple people to buy season tickets by giving them free tickets in previous years. I used to give my tickets away to various people when I was not going to be able to attend, but after about 8 times over the years I quit doing that. Every time I asked how going to the game was, without exception the ticket recipients didn't end up going for some reason or another. You can't force people to go to a game, but I can't understand why a college football fan wouldn't want to go to see this team play. RayJay with its end zone plazas and clubs make for a lousy game atmosphere when people are not in their seats, but it is what we have, and this USF team really is worth going to see. Go Bulls! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree the end zone plazas and club make the atmosphere lousy. When we do build an on campus stadium the club needs to be smaller and no plazas. We need the fans closer to the action and in their seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about sometime in the 4th quarter of each game Judy descends from her private box and randomly touches a student. The lucky student then receives free tuition for that senester.

They give away 1,000 subs every game at an official Bulls/Publix tailgate. In return, we adopt a secondary mascot/symbol, The Fightin Publix.
