2012    30,455      44,130 69.01%

2013    20,379      34,702 58.73%

Attendance down: Actual attendance for the football team's season finale Friday against UCF at Raymond James Stadium was 27,368, according to the Tampa Sports Authority.

Now for the bleak news: Only three times in seven home games this year did actual attendance eclipse 20,000. The average — 19,317 — was USF's worst since 2001 and represented a decrease of more than 1,000 fans a game from '13 (20,379).

Attendance talk from a fan of team that is barely making the Div 1 minimum requirements in attendance.  Notice I said attendance because if it were on the field performance well, usf would barely be making 1-aa.

 

 

 

Thanks for making my point, dip****. Comparing apples to apples, the year following our "pinnacle", we averaged 12K more in announced attendance than you clowns did following yours, which I will admit was a much higher pinnacle ... that is a joke. Pointing out our attendance woes during the darkest hours of our program does nothing to change how pathetic your attendance last year really was.

 

And please provide a link for your c&p info. Thank you.

And you're too freaking stupid to realize that those were never real usf fans.  How do I know, because usf can't draw flies now.  Fan bases show win or lose.  Oh and I know that you're not too smart so I will help you out, that bold number you show us, its not real, actual for 2008 was 37,625 what UCF reported this past year.  

 

Now triple fool, I do want to take it easy on you because you are a bool fan.  You realize its 2015 right, your living almost a decade in the past.  Let me bring you up to speed on usf football.

Got to go apples to apples, sweetie. UCF only reports announced attendance, not real, so it's 49K vs 37K.... Now, one more time for the link. please.

Apples to Apples triple L, usf trophy case.

 

[KB]

Karma, I think you accidentally pissed on your own argument and posted trophy pictures to make up for it.  Even UF and FSU have had attendance issues in recent years.  Don't take it personal. 

[footnfan1]

The UF issues are dramatic. The students lack of attendance has destroyed the need for  a lottery, so it went poof. Several close friends are Nole Boosters, no word on their issues, they seem to have lots of people wanting tickets, especially the ones they have  access to.

[KB]

Yeah, the Nole issues were more towards the end of Bobby's tenure.  The point I was trying to make and Karma backed it up by posting pictures of a full UCF trophy case...trophy cases don't equal fans in the seats.  FSU and UF have cases full of trophies, but have had their issues.  Sounds like UCF is having similar issues.  

[2000bull]

so did UCF announce their actual attendance figures?

[Karma]

Karma, I think you accidentally pissed on your own argument and posted trophy pictures to make up for it. Even UF and FSU have had attendance issues in recent years. Don't take it personal.

Nope, I was right to show the trophies. Triple L was trashing the billboards as a desperate marketing campaign after what he called a horrible attendance year last year. Are schools having issues with attendance, sure but for different reasons. If UCF had good teams coming in attendance would be fine, UCF's best opponent last year was BYU on a week night. Now usf had Maryland, NCSU, ECU and UCF at home, no excuse for averaging under 30k let alone 20K.

Still love the billboards!

I think the issue with UCF, is with the marginal fans. Actual season ticket sales, have risen year over year for the last several years.

 

The school sold 13,046 season tickets in 2012, 15,064 in 2013 and 16,049 in 2014. This season's report, of course, isn't available yet but Lassiter said early sales foreshadow another year of growth.
