Week 7 Attendance

[Ivytalk]

9165 showed up in rainy Cambridge to view Harvard's sloppy win over Cornell.

[BucBisonAtLarge]

4984 watched Bucknell win at Lehigh.

[bulldog10jw]

Only 6241 in the Bowl. Embarrassing for both teams.

[Skyhawk71]

Thursday Night: Tennessee Tech @ Tennessee-Martin 2,741 showed up for the game they play so students will come- maybe 100 students- after the 2 hour 15 minute lightning delay I would say around 26 (Pic at 11:07 p.m.- when game restarted)
19830

Only 6241 in the Bowl. Embarrassing for both teams.

That's shocking. Even with the weather, I would have guessed at least 15K at that game.

[Da Bison]

19,034 at the Fargodome today.

[Sader87]

I was one of 1,904 at Brown Stadium today.

Not a great day weather-wise...but it's shocking how bad FCS attendance in the Northeast is getting week to week.

[darell1976]

7894 at the Alerus Center for Homcoming against Portland St.

[MR. CHICKEN]

19,476....PARENTS DAY [email protected] STADIUM.......AWK!

[BEAR]

We have like 100 there. Darn Alabama visiting that team up north.

[UAalum72]

Sellout 8500 listed for Homecoming at Bob Ford Field in Albany.

[Go Green]

Only 6241 in the Bowl. Embarrassing for both teams.

Ivy fans aren't willing to sit through cold rain the way they used to...

I sat through the '81 Harvard-Yale game in NH. Rained like stink, and we got clocked. 75,000 people showed.

Today's fans are PUSSIES!

[UNH_Alum_In_CT]

18,774 at UNH For Homecoming game vs W&M.

[Pard4Life]

3,361 at Lafayette to see Georgetown. It was Fall Break and we were facing a subpar opponent. Great scheduling by the AD. Worst crowd in awhile.

[Sitting Bull]

10,126 in the Georgia Dome for FBS Georgia State vs Arkansas State.

There were about 10,000 people in Hanover for the 1990 Dartmouth-Yale game (considered the de facto Ivy championship game at the time of the game). Big crowd for those days at Memorial Field. And yeah- heavy rain the whole game.

Today, most of those people would have stayed home... :(

[Sitting Bull]

18,774 at UNH For Homecoming game vs W&M.

I found this amazing considering the stadium holds 6,500 and the bleacher sideline from TV looked half full at best during the entire game.

[SFA 93]

5,005 SFA vs. Nichols in Louisiana in a weather delay.

[RabidRabbit]

11,393 for the SDSU Hall of Fame, and Sanford Jackrabbit Athletic Complex (SJAC - Indoor Practice Facility) dedication.

There is no way 18774 made it into the game. UNH oversells and fills their tailgate, then everyone stays there and continues to drink rather then watch the game(there isn't seating anyway). Still a good sign that over 18k bought tickets, the interest is there!

Tickets are scanned entering the Boulder Field Tailgate area. A game ticket is required for entry into the alcohol allowed Boulder Field. Walk-ins to this area have tickets scanned as well. And students have to pick up a physical ticket (free) for the games so those too are scanned upon entry.

Students started bailing at halftime and it was like an exodus after the last UNH TD. I guess everyone had Homecoming parties to attend. :D More UNH fans stand rather than sit in the small bleachers behind the visitor's bench. The home side was just about full, the student section was overflowing and there were plenty of people in the usual standing areas up top on the home side, the knoll in front of the tennis courts and around the fences. Not as many people viewing the game as Lehigh or Dartmouth games but still IMHO over 9K. Personally, I'm glad they enforce the ticket rule and get revenue from the people who only come to party. In their defense, I too could very easily have stayed out tailgating because there are so many people to visit and catch up with. After all it's part of what Homecoming is about.

Sounds an awful lot like Colgate...xsmiley_wix

[Sader87]

And Holy Cross....

[Dane96]

8500 at Albany for homecoming.

[BISON Thunder]

I have no numbers to prove it, but in reading the attendance figures in these weekly threads...it appears more fans are attending FCS games than in recent years?

[813Jag]

5,336 in Huntsville, AL to see Southern come from 20 points down in the third to win

I think people are waiting for a competitive home game at the end...games have been determined well before the 4Q. Not sure we get one of those until the playoffs this year.

Our homecoming seemed pretty spotty from my side of the field looking across. There is a block of tickets about 3/4 of the way up on the 35-45 that represents about 50 seats that are never filled this season, its about 7 rows up and down and 7-8 seats across in each row, its a giant square of 50 or 60 empty seats at each game all game long. They must be owned by a lazy company. I'm sure the ticket sales are still capped at 100% though, just not AIS.

[JMU2004]

24,113 saw JMU throttle Towson

you should post here more. that it was down to just two JMU fans, would love to make it three.

[lydiabixby]

RE: Sitting Bull's wonderment at the UNH-W&M announced attendance: They scan all of the people with tickets including the thousands that never wonder into the Stadium. Same thing happened last homecoming. We guess about 8500 to 9000 actually were in the stadium watching the game.

there are now a few of us and not just a couple!!!

Wish more JMU fans were on here so we can take off our rose colored glasses and be the class of FCS (not just worried about moving up and firing Bourne...)

Need the Charlotte win in 2 weeks to get the crowds excited and coming out the rest of the season for sure.

[GAD]

I was 1 of 12,073 to watch Grambling defeat Alcorn at Eddie Robinson stadium.
the forecast called for thunderstorms so I think some people stayed away
