I can see us getting 20-22k for a championship-determinative Troy game on Thanksgiving weekend, but with the best noise and atmosphere of the season.t4pizza wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 3:46 pmI like the Troy game being on the Thanksgiving weekend (rivalry weekend). I see them as our biggest threat in the East and would like to see this develop into a big rivalry worthy of recognition. I know this is usually a date that has low attendance, but if it turns out to be for the eastern title and a shot at the conference championship game than I expect the Rock will be packed.
Part of that may depend on whether students will have to buy tickets to that game or not. When we had FCS playoffs, the student population went down by a good amount.Gonzo wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 3:49 pmI can see us getting 20-22k for a championship-determinative Troy game on Thanksgiving weekend, but with the best noise and atmosphere of the season.t4pizza wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 3:46 pmI like the Troy game being on the Thanksgiving weekend (rivalry weekend).

The Troy game is a regular season game so all students will get in for free. Now, if we host the SBC Championship on 12/1 the student ticket situation may be in question. I hope we'd find a way to let them all in at no additional costs.appgrouch wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 3:53 pmPart of that may depend on whether students will have to buy tickets to that game or not.

There will be a cat 6 hurricane that hits new orleans and is somehow still a cat 2 when over Jonesboro. They will cancel the game and still try to sue us.
We have a home game the week before. Southern has a cross country flight on a short week.
Three straight HOME games right after a de facto home game in Harrisburg will be tough. I imagine that the South Alabama game will be the one that suffers, unless the administration makes it the Homecoming game.Rick83 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 27, 2018 3:33 pmLove that we don't have any home weeknight games but, the 3 home games in a row will take it's toll on many. Also, the Nov 24th game is the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, which has historically been a low-attended game, but it's awesome that it'll be against Troy and possibly determine who plays in the championship game so that should help attendance. Overall I like the schedule although I have travel conflicts with the Louisiana game which is a bummer...how close are we to the season starting countdown!! I'm ready!!
Per FBSschedules, USA is the home coming game. I would expect GW to suffer the most. Granted we all know you don't get 3 perfect weather weekends in a row in Boone so that is a factor as well.AppSt94 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 8:19 amThree straight HOME games right after a de facto home game in Harrisburg will be tough.

Smart move by the administration for designation USA for Homecoming. I agree that GW may be the one that suffers, but being somewhat local, hopefully they bring about a thousand fans. If they have that many.Goapps15 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 28, 2018 8:23 amPer FBSschedules, USA is the home coming game. I would expect GW to suffer the most.

It is good to have 4 weekend home games before October 20th. Also good to have Troy when weather could be a factor.
