My first home game as a student was 2007 vs. Elon. After we beat Auburn we had to stand in line at the Sun Dome to get tickets for WVU. Fun times. I would say keep it where it is. They've done well in parts throughout the season. You can't exactly blame them after we pooped the bed vs. FAU. Hopefully, there's a solid turnout vs Charlotte, and once we get to a bowl game I expect demand will pick up substantially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USFBulls12 Posted November 12, 2023 Group: Member Topic Count: 62 Content Count: 3,698 Reputation: 930 Days Won: 7 Joined: 03/17/2012 Share Posted November 12, 2023 USF Tampa is a school of 35,000+ and can't even get 2000+ students (just 5.7% of total students) consistently at every game regardless of opponent. Let's say there were 200 students at today's game, that's about 0.57% of the total student body. - How is that possible for Division 1 football on a Saturday afternoon?? - Noon is TOO early? No. - 85-90 degrees is TOO hot? No. Florida and Florida State average between 80,000-90,000 fans and last I checked, it's hot there too. Just extra info: UCF's attendance has increased 6.18% from 41,542 last season in The American to 44,109 this season in the Big 12. UCF's 5 year average: 41,324 USF's 5 year average: 32,972 UCF is 97.37% of stadium capacity USF is 64.40% of stadium capacity https://www.d1ticker.com/2023-fbs-attendance-trends/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point considering we’re at our highest level of support ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will see them show up in droves. Better than seeing them stand on street corners with donation buckets and looking like homeless people.
