Spring game attendance nationally

[thatguyed]

If that UCF number is right, then 17 people (me and my dog) watched the Red Sox from my living room yesterday.

My bad, I hadn't read the entire string and didn't see the UCF commentary.

No problem... I really just wanted to incude my dog in a post.

I'd love to see something like a spring fair before hand. Bring in some carnival games, local vendors and food trucks. Open the parking lot earlier, say 8 or 9am, so people can mosey around like they do at fairs. I know at least 10 people that would come with me if they did something like that. When it's just the game they don't see the point, but I've ask if it was more of an all day thing instead of showing up watching a scrimmage and go home would they be more likely to go and they all said yes.

I mean, how do you compete with this? And do you even want to?

This stuff slays me. So open the lots 7 hours before the games.... so people can go to a fair.... and then after 7 hours of fair they will go to the same scrimmage they don't want to go to.

You know like the people who come for women's basketball players autographs and then get in their cars and go home after they get them.

I'll crack the code for spring 'game' attendance. Play an actual game with actual football energy and more people would come. You'll never invent a formula where attendance increases on anything but football - trust me recreating the Portland Fair outside isn't going to get anyone to watch a practice.
