Exactly. How was our turnout in St. Pete in 1999? I also think being so close the first two weekends didn’t help. If you attended those games, it already got expensive and then flights to phoenix were outrageous. Point is, I just feel this time around was more a confluence of events than a testimony on our fanbase.The Purdue fans I talked to almost universally said things like " I did not go for our last FF in 1980 and I was not going to miss this one". Ours fans -arrogant and spoiled as we are- went last year in huge numbers and had a Women's FF at the same time this year. If it had been 45 years since our last FF we would have filled the whole stadium as well.
