As with many FCS teams, distance and ESPN+ has curtailed the migration of road fans to games such as these. Fewer Ivy fans make the trip to DC; yes, the poor stadium amenities don't help, but it's not the social event it once was.

I can remember when Georgetown chartered a fan bus to Worcester. Now, it's parents of the players and little else.
