Other Teams Playoff Attendance
Can't help but notice packed stadiums at MSU, ODU and NDSU. We make excuses about the time of year and what not to explain our 15K for playoffs. This is the issue that bothers me about the move up. We have a soft fan base. A couple of losing seasons and they might stop showing up. Fire away...

We have the best fan base in the FCS. Could it be better? Heck yes, but to say our fan base is soft is a little lame.If we were playing a home playoff game today, I bet we would have had the highest attendance.

Re: Other Teams Playoff Attendance
Today's the quarterfinals. Who's to say we wouldn't have had a full house today. I seem to remember the moaning about having to play Richmond on a Friday night in Boone and how noboby wouldshow up. How'd that work out?

Boone population: 17K
Fargo metro: 212K
Norolk/VA Beach metro: 1.6M
If all our fans didn't have to drive 100+ miles on short notice, we'd be packing the house as well. In our disappointing games, we have the population of Boone in KBS.

Re: Other Teams Playoff Attendance
I thought it looked like more also. Their stadium holds <18k and it looked full. Anyway the point is MSU regular season attendance probably averaged about what they had at the playoff game last night. They had a couple 20K games, season opener and EW but the rest were around the capacity of the stadium. We were 10K off our regualr attendance (if you believe the 15K number).WVAPPeer wrote:Montana State officially 16,400 (looked like more) and ODU was 20k ---

Re: Other Teams Playoff Attendance
We had a home QTR final game against Villanova two years ago... We have a great fan base I fully agree. I should have chosen my words a bit more carefully. Our solid fan base is the 15-16K that showed up last week. I am proud to be part of that group.TheMoody1 wrote:appbio91 wrote:Can't help but notice packed stadiums at MSU, ODU and NDSU.

And if we did sell out, you'd say that's a reason not to move to FBS, because the playoffs are so popular with our fans. You can't have it both ways.

Re: Other Teams Playoff Attendance
We have a great core of 15k fans at App. I think NDSU and Montana has a more faithful fanbase than we do. If App played NDSU in Frisco I'd wager they'd bring more fans.

I get your point but it should be noted that as of 2010 census Boone has a population of 33k.asumike83 wrote:Boone population: 17K

Re: Other Teams Playoff Attendance
I don't care about playoff attendence if we are FBS. Our regular season numbers speak for themselves.
Re: Other Teams Playoff Attendance
We'll see the same type of attendance in the regular season once ASU gets closer to the .500 spot in the FBS...
