We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.

re:attendance, it was Halloween. Doubt the parents/young kids crowd had a ball game on their minds. As for me, I had no trick or treaters and am now "blessed" with a plethora of Kit-Kats and Reese's minis.

Don't really care to make excuses for Troy, but I watched the first half, and it turned to a pretty hard rain half way through the second quarter. So, weeknight game, Halloween and the same rain that caused the Texas flooding would keep folks away.

Unless I have missed something I think we knew SB attendance was not huge and we will rank near the top.

Re: Sunbelt slate 10/31-11/2
Many of our "fans" would have never showed up knowing there was a chance of rain. Half of those who did would have hit the exits with the first few drops. Sadly App has about 12-15,000 hard core fans, the rest are what I call convenient fans.GoAppsGo92 wrote:Don't really care to make excuses for Troy, but I watched the first half, and it turned to a pretty hard rain half way through the second quarter.

Did not watch close enough to realize it was raining. Fortunately/unfortunately our neighborhood is really popular for Halloween. We went through 4 bags of candy by 6:45GoAppsGo92 wrote:Don't really care to make excuses for Troy, but I watched the first half, and it turned to a pretty hard rain half way through the second quarter.

Re: Sunbelt slate 10/31-11/2
As long as they buy a ticket they are fans in my eyes. I will not look down on anyone who spend one thin dime on the program. We are going to need every dime we can get. If you come to two games a year I say thanks for those two tickets. If you don't come at all but buy the tickets I say thanks. I really and truly do not think people understand that football attendance across the country is down and we are going to need to court the ticket buyer. As an example according to STATSLLC ACC stadiums have been less than 85% full this season. Their expenses though have not dropped.Kgfish wrote:Many of our "fans" would have never showed up knowing there was a chance of rain.

I must have missed the thread discussing the App/Furman attendance of 7,300 just two weeks ago?

Not relevant to the Sun Belt. We already know what SoCon attendance is going to be.Saint3333 wrote:I must have missed the thread discussing the App/Furman attendance of 7,300 just two weeks ago?
And from what I've been told, 7,300 is a gross exaggeration.

Re: Sunbelt slate 10/31-11/2
Why are so many of us concerned with what Furman, Wofford, Elon, Samford, et.al. draw in their own venues? We get our money when they come to Kidd Brewer Stadium. Does anyone think Michigan looks down on our "measley" 30K home attendance when we drew close to 100,000 fans in their venue?

Re: Sunbelt slate 10/31-11/2
I work with a UM alum. She referred to our stadium as "a cute little place" when she saw it for the first time 3 years ago. So yes, many Michigan fans look down their nose at our attendance, if only subconsciously.JCline0429 wrote:Why are so many of us concerned with what Furman, Wofford, Elon, Samford, et.al. draw in their own venues?
