How many college teams are located in cities/towns that have a first class Stadium  for rent?  What do you mean by successfully rent?

What does unsuccessfully rent look like?

Please stop with the common sense/face the facts approach!

Buy 2 season ticket, attend all home games, enter the stadium 30 minutes before kickoff, stay for the entire game (check out after the alma mater is played) and win a Viking River Cruise for 2 or a weeks vacation to Disney World for your entire family.

 

You've stopped attending football games, right?

University of Miami... and they have the same problem we do...

 

Bigger city, better stadium, and fans have been complaining for years...

 

They are also P5 and have won National titles... (meanwhile, their UF and FSU, fill their OCS just fine)

I continue to attend them in my luxury suite. 

Most just call that their home but I'm sure yours is nice enough to be called a luxury suite ...

be present at (an event, meeting, or function).

Sorry Ned, but I'm sure, stickler that you are, you can appreciate that you do not, in fact, attend games at any luxury suite.

How to increase attendance?  Get in a better conference. There is no other way. USF will not average 45-50k a year again like we did in Big East unless we get into a power conference. The end. If that keeps us from getting in another power conference to begin with then it does. Our cap playing in a G5 conf is around 40k. Maybe 45 if we go undefeated and even then probably not.

Every game is meaningful to me.

True, but to increase attendance we will need to expand the base. I don't know that NIU does that.

You expand the base by getting people to watch USF, not who they're playing. The only way to do that right now is sustained winning and maybe, hopefully, it starts getting the attention of the thousands of alumni in the area who are  interested in college football, but not USF right now .... and maybe gets some local, casual fans interested.

Then we are screwed for at least the next 10 years
