I will be honest it seemed to me like there was much more enthousiasm for this years spring game then there has been in years past. It seemed to me like I had to park much further away this year then I ever had to in the past.

good for army! first post updated. my point is that ever year this program is building and you see it in different ways. we had a bad year last season but we put 5500 in the rent for a spring game. didn't we do like 2500 last year? thats a great improvement. and by improvement what i mean is seeing double the amount of ppl care enough about the game to go and watch. those are more ppl who show interest and become diehards if there not already. weather helped also i know.

The spring game attendance is mostly based on one thing. Weather. Thats what moves the attendance from 2500 to 5500. Hopefully they learned their lesson on trying to play at night.
