pathetic attendance

[Pantherstate]

what is the excuse for the 9000 turnout? The fans that were there were great, but 9000? I guess that proves some of you are more concerned about your Iowa bowl game. I don't want to hear excuses if you are a true panther and you can't get behind this team you are not a true panther!

Who are you calling an idiot; Pantherstate OR the 6000+ fans who were not in the dome?

Re: pathetic attendance

last year we could fill the doime for 2 games including an icestorm and we can't get over 10 for either game this year. just wondering the reason? Who can we blame but ourselves?

Re: pathetic attendance

I still say that attendance figure was wrong. I was at the game and it looked like there were WAY more than that. I thought it looked like 12K. The West side was packed except for the very end corners.

Re: pathetic attendance

I thought it looked like 10K. If each section is about 1K, then the west side had about 6K. The east side seemed to be slightly less full. That's why I figured 10K. I think there was another 'low balled' attendance figure. It always happens in the playoffs.

Reasons I have heard while listening to OPR during the last two weeks, in no certain order.

Johnny Gray incident, Too many other activities/events, Ticket Price too high, Cold weather, Lack of student/campus interest, Weary Economy, Saving money for Iowa bowl game, Hartzel promoted better than TD, No more or fewer comp tickets, Not as much media hype about this team compared to last year's team, last year's ticketing fiasco. Others?

Re: pathetic attendance

you shouldn't blame a whole team because of a couple of players. Last year we had parsons and we still sold out 2 games and that is no shot at Chris.

How does a quasi-meaningless Iowa bowl game compare to a semi-final playoff game?

Good question!

Sadly Iowa fans that also cheer for UNI will no longer spend the money to travel to CF because they are saving for their bowl game trip

Re: pathetic attendance

How about it is too warm inside the Dome?? I did sweat a little tonight...and not just because of the score. The bandwaggon jumpers missed another great game.
