Football Attendance

[Bryson W]

Since the first game is tomorrow, do you guys believe that our overall football attendance will increase from last year to this year? I hope more people are buying into the program and I hope they'll show out for us. I know attendance has been on the decline but i hope it improves this year with (hopefully) a better product on the field.

You and me both.  It was surprising at times last year that attendance was as good as it was in the midst of continual losing.

I think that even with factoring out the Alabama game, our average attendance will go up a couple thousand.  But with Alabama, it will look really great.  And we all know when people are looking at lists of average home attendance there are no footnotes for the opponents.

That (bolded) will certainly help!  That's step one.  If we can start winning again, it will rekindle some curiosity and following from a segment of the population.  Many walked away from the Bulls years ago though.  We need to win, make it fun and market it to the community.  #rebuild

I don't expect it to dramatically improve this season versus last or the year before it. I hope it does, but expectations are low.

I think the Greek are freed up for the game. This hasn’t been so in the past. That should help attendance.

They 100% percent need to tie the ability to buy tickets in the new stadium to being a current season-ticket holder. Absolutely no reason to drive up sales and get more fans in the stadium now.

I would imagine that's standard operating procedure.

Id assume they’d give priority those of us who have had tickets for decades.

I 100% guarantee you that some on this board will point out the Bama game.
