UConn announced 24K at yesterday's game (we announced 30). There's no way more than 13-15K fans were in actual attendance at UConn's game w/Cincinnati. Also, watch Houston's drop like a rock, now that they are out of CFP. I think the start time is what makes a huge difference. Like it or not, thousands less fans are going to show up and sit in the sun, than an evening game, unless it's a big time opponent like FSU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck there were folks who stayed and tailgated and one guy LEFT right before the game started. His excuse as "were gonna win today anyways..." lol a few years ago we couldn't get people cause they assumed we were gonna lose, now a few have the opposite problem. Anyways I would like to see the numbers for the ESPNNEWS broadcast to see how those looked. As long as people are watching. I anticipate next week's to be better at 7p.

My wife and I sit in 212 B and yesterday we stopped at the top of the section and thought the shade there may be worth moving our seats up there for. I don't let game times affect my attendance and I deal with the heat but I have to admit the shade is better. And I know too many people who won't go because of the heat. My son sits with us and is a 2015 grad and he says a lot of his friends don't like it either. So, I am on the side of putting pressure on TV to not do the early season noon starts or else think about some netting or shading additions to the stadium like they have done in Miami. Fixing the heat problem won't fix our overall support but it is one thing the could be improved upon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we have a relatively large sth contingent that are families and fall Saturday afternoons are full of youth athletics/activities and those pm games are going to be a killer. 3 hours ago, E.T. said: Nope ... the purchases help us. Sorry, ET, maybe I wasn't clear.The "be a killer" I was referring to was a killer to the actual attendance that some fans and some media are needlessly fixated on.

Most of the club access people were inside. This^ I was there and it must have been 100 degrees and everyone seemed to be in the club level or below deck avoiding the heat. I would have guessed 20k max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
