That may be, but there is evidence that having an OCS does not boost attendance,

I'm too lazy to look it up, frankly, but that could be true.  I love going to Ray Jay for games, but it'd be cool to have our own stadium.  I know we're nowhere near WVU or Texas, but I've been to those venue, and it's electric.

I'd love to have an OCS as well.  I love visiting our campus.  My son goes there, so I get an excuse to come by once in a while.  I think, for us, winning will create that atmosphere more than where the stadium is located.  We just don't have the generational history that those programs have.

True, and I've been to UCF, FAU and FIU, and was underwhelmed.  Hopefully we keep moving forward, and get attendance up (and not just FSU).

I blame the canceled practices due to weather. When do we announce that IPF again?

The IPF is infinitely more important than an ocs for the welfare of our program ...

It seems that you are assuming that an OCS will increase attendance.  It's been proven that this is not the case.

I think what trip is saying, is that an IPF is more important because then you can have practice when there is weather that would typically cancel practice. Therefore, cutting down on the cramping.

So, an IPF will increase our announced attendance?

No we will just be able to hide those numbers like everyone else I think.
