what game was #1?  interesting how its in the old stadium...

 Probably the inagural game.  I wonder how did we lose about 19,000 fans since then.  That's a lot of people that walked away after that first game.

It has been increasing... at least since the 2002 season it has been. According to the data I have, the attendance has been increasing on average by [highlight]343[/highlight] people per game. Not a huge number, but it's going up.

Can anyone can tell me where to find attendance data farther back than 2002...?

 I think this can be a great artlice:

"Missing: 19,000+ fans from the inagural game"  In the article you can attempt to rationalize why those fans would abandon a team that has moved on to a better conference, to better opponents, and to better recruits.

 I just can't buy the "just win baby" cliche because there's gotta be more to the story than that.  How do you see the birth of a program and later walk away from it. How can you show up for a Kentucky Wesleyan game but not for a game against highly ranked teams.

I'd say 40% of the fans at the first game were not really fans.  They were there for the event.  Most wanted just to be able to say they were at the first game.  I remember thinking there are a lot of people here with no afiliation to USF.  Wonder how long they will be around?  Anyway, 32,500 for a Friday nite game was pretty good.  Not great, but good.  If USF was highly touted or this was on Sat Nite, I'd of expected close to 39-40K.  The 32.5K might actually be more than what shows up for H'coming at noon.
