-lmfao at bcu
- i read a thread on the pitt game at a hs that said if u take away the hs team/school kids and ppl involved with the hs it looked like 1k pitt fans.
-temple and bsu are impressive to me for different reasons.

what have our #'s been the past couple years?
3-4k this year maybe?

Right now Saturday forecast is "Chance of Rain" but I'm thinking it's going to be just fine. Weather is the biggest factor... hopefully the forecast improves even more. Some quick googling and I saw a 2,500 number the last two years... I would hope that we double it this year.

 

[huskypantz]

For the first few years, they'd eyeball 10k. I think the actual attendance started to drop after 2005's spring game. We had crappy weather last year and also a couple of years ago. If there's no rain and temps close to 70, we'll top 5k. Rain again means 2500.

Georgia Southern had 2500 for their FCS spring game. They're UCF/USF in waiting.

 

[uconndogs]

Given the season that BC's about to have, that may be the count they get for game day.

Conte.....don't get me started on that morgue......

 

[SAMCRO]

Word is that BC's # included the players and staff in it. So all in about 70 "fans" showed up.

I read all your posts before I read the link and was thinking, "why should any of us be laughing at BC's attendance figures?" ...then I opened the link and busted out laughing - what a sad story

GA state is also making moves. Going to be interesting to see how much marinate likes the southern cooking. memphis clearly did a good bbq. stay tunned.

BC. OMG.

Before reading the link, I too was thinking "with everyone laughing at BC, please please let our attendance be higher."

Is it even remotely possible we don't get even 1,000 let alone bwahahahahahaha 200.

after watching this i would say 200 is a bit of a troll made up #, its looks more like 210 people not 200.

 

[SubbaBub]

Looks like aside from the SEC spring cotillion, 8-10k is a very respectable number with 5k being not horrible.

The BC faithful are saying, "...this is what happens when you move the spring game back into March, the local media barely pays any attention and expectations and fan interest in the program are as low as they have been in well over a decade." http://www.bcinterruption.com/

actually thats good for Temple, considering they averaged that their 1st go-round in the Big East for fall games.

That's gotta be all family members too

The BC program has been run into the ground. Since the day they left for the ACC, they have been a complete non factor in Boston sports. And I bet the ACC money is not even that much more than what they could have made staying in the BE. When they left they had very good football and basketball teams who likley would have continued to do very well in the BE (maybe a BCS game or 2 4-5 years back). Now both programs are jokes.

I went to a couple BC Spring games back in the late 90's. On a ncie day they would have a solid turnout of 10-15k. Basically the lower bowl filled up with comfortable spacing between people/groups. 200 is almost unbelieveable.

The BCU figures are inflated. 200 is the amount of tickets issued. Question is how many fannies actually in seats!

 

[Waquoit]

The Channel 3 weather has moved the rain back and the temp up a bit. I don't understand why not everyone has a poncho. Yeah, it can look goofy but it makes the weather a non-issue. I hope it doesn't rain because we have our clam chowder expert scheduled and he doesn't do rain.

What tickets? BC does not "issue" tickets for the spring game. Gates are open and anyone can walk into the game.

BC football, right before our eyes, is becoming Fat Elvis...

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

I didn't even know the BC spring game happened and I live two miles from their stadium.

wow thats close, sucks bro.....

 

[FfldCntyFan]

At first I thought BC's number had to be a typo.............................








Then it occurred to me...............................................








They were including players and coaches in that number.

If they let people bring umbrellas, JUST FOR THIS GAME, they would have more. Who wants to sit in the rain for a scrimmage?
