Deer hunting opener has something to do with it too.

I like how everyone thinks a new stadium is just suppose to flock fans to see a sh*tty team.

The weren't good in the Dome, they aren't good at TCF.

Lot of empty for Mich St, too. Gray doesn't stick out as much as blue, if that's any consolation.

bumpity, bump

Nice fans? Nice team. There's a reason the seats are empty.

thestl · #14 11-07-2009, 04:04 PM

If this team continues to play at this level, you are just whitnessing the beginning of an onslaught. If poor play continues, this stadium will be lucky if it's half full.

pretty sure this is after halftime, when we were down 21...i lot of dumb fans do leave in what seems like a blowout...lucky for me, i got to stand in the 3rd row after halftime so yay for me

DuluthGopher · #16 11-07-2009, 04:47 PM

Ok here is my 2 cents with the students...I am not a student and didnt go to school at the U but here is my opinion...If you are a senior at the U you have been going there for 4+ years and if i wanted to watch a game i had to go to the crappy dome and watch average teams at best. Those students are not going to have the attachment like they should at this point. The freshman that are there now, hopefully will feel like it is more their team and will support the team more. Thus creating more of a tradition of attending games for all the upcoming students that will attend the U. You cant change the culture of all the students overnight. This is not an excuse, its just the way it is. And yes, losing to inferior teams

Establish a winning tradition and the fans will come.

I can't believe the biggest concern of some people after the crapfest we put on the field today is an empty student section.

RedPoo · #18 11-07-2009, 05:25 PM

Why don't we save ourselves the work and just keep this thread in a sticky at the top of the page? That way, we won't have to relive this idiotic 5-page back-and-forth every week.
