Student Game Attendance – Root Cause Problem Solving

[Duncan Idaho]

Of course, they don't give a damn about a product that's located at a half hour off-campus. Might they be more likely to actually give a damn if it were actually an integrated part of campus life rather than an off-campus activity choice that requires an hour of commuting? Probably.

Why would they give a damn about a product that has been poor throughout their collective memories? A product the general public has turned away from and themselves wouldn't drive 30 minutes to watch. It went from 40k to 12-15k struggling to beat the Wagners of the football world and asking why? Ask why they had to expand the student seating by multiple stadium sections in the past. The perception is that UConn can't get into a major conference is because the football team is so bad. Hey everyone let's hop a ride and watch that!

Bye weeks always bring out the Captain Obvious in us all, apparently. (And the "campus stadium" guys.)

Because if you're currently a junior or senior, this football team has already made it once to a bowl game and is again on track to go to a second bowl.

Because the weather has been ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL for every home game we've had.

Because most of the current students don't even REMEMBER Pasqualoni or GDL.

Because most of the people in this board bitching about them used to travel to see a middle-of-the-road 1-AA team play at places like the Yale Bowl, etc.

Those are just off the top of my head. I don't expect 30,000 students to go to the games, but having 2,000 shouldn't be that hard...
