At least they had the hurricane excuse. Not really but they can pretend.
It's always easier to find some silly point to compare than deal with the real issue of how to get the Rent filled up for football as it once was. Who cares what the crowd size was at Sfl vs ECU? How does that help UCONN improve attendance?
Are you 2 sitting next to each other in the same basement? Do you share a laptop or do you each have your own?
@gtcam - There are a lot of people on this board who are also longtime big CFB fans (in addition to being UConn sports fans) and what happens in other programs (especially conference mates) are discussed and dissected here. CFB attendance is a hot topic. Your "who cares" comment to the Tennessee game thread started by someone is another example of college football fans in general discussing college football - if it doesn't tickle you move on. .
You are again, a Clarion Voice in a forest of over simplification. Yes, success of all other AAC teams, including their attendance, benefits UCONN. Rising tide floats all ships. Besides the immortal words of the Great Al Davis ; "Just win Baby"! what else could be done to improve the Game Day Experience and increase attendance? In the Blue Parking Lot where I've been since the Rent opened, we lost the pre game Husky Walk, no longer see any Pep Band during Tail gate to fire up the crowd and no longer see cheerleaders or Dance Team coming around. The so called Fan Fest is not a winning proposition. Great if you want to spin the prize wheel for local radio stations, sign up for Dish TV (tried that), join the Marine Corps (did my time) so what are the other ideas to fill the seats? Happy to see several HS football teams represented in uniform in the crowd yesterday.
U lose two thirds of your games over 5 years, this is what u get. We are surprised?
You can't really go by just who is sitting in the seats. Walk around the stadium...people watch from the concourse all the time. It is a big issue that eventually they need to fix. It has been an issue since the place was opened.
