FCS Attendance

South Dakota State is #16. NDSU #7.

Its interesting, to me anyways, that SDSU is #16. I feel like there's still a ton of growth with the new stadium. I bet they'll be top 10 in the next couple of years.

The craziest thing to me is that Missouri St. is that high with the program they have had recently.

I chuckle a little bit every time I see Youngstown State ranked ahead of us in attendance.

When I went down there last fall to the football game they didn’t have anything close to that average even if you counted their huge band.

Members of their band said that was a typical turnout for them even when the weather was good (it was raining that day.) They also said it only fills for Homecoming and most students leave the game at halftime. It’s a shame, really; they’ve got a great campus and stadium, and their band is fantastic! People should at least show up to see them at halftime!

The only thing I can figure is Homecoming really brought up their average for over only 5 home games.

We probably would be in the top ten if we counted like everyone else in the country.

Was at homecoming '13 and you're right about the students clearing out at half time. My GF's niece was at there and meeting her after the game it was obvious she had no interest or knowledge of football. Her sorority told her to be there til half and so she was.

Re: FCS Attendance

Went Missouri St game this year and was on Jacks sideline during game. Students and Band sit on that side of stadium. The students that were there were only there to heckle Jacks players (there was some quality heckling going on, all good natured). They were gone after halftime.

Re: FCS Attendance

If students only realized how much activity fees went to the athletic dept. maybe they would hang beyond half time. Oh to be young and stupid again.
