Saint Francis??

Re: Saint Francis??

Any word on attendance? I have a feeling it could be pretty weak with such an uninteresting team coming in. I would be really happy if we could just get as many as last week.

11,019 is my guess. though that might be a little high.
Iowa is playing at home starting at 2:30, and we all know how many people think that Iowa football is more important than UNI.

After seeing the end zone seats empty against SD last week, am I the only one thinking that they are going to have to come up with some sweet deals to get folks into those seats?

There is already the family fun pack, but it seems even that didn't work last week. I think it is a great deal, and will pick up steam as the season goes on though

I know the ends on the east side were pretty empty (I was sitting on the west side). I kind of looked at the ends on the west side, and they didn't look as empty (though I couldn't really tell from my vantage point). I figured they tried to load up the west side first in order to make it look better on TV

Last week there was the Iowa-ISU game that drew the attendance/attention of a number of casual fans. This week, Iowa is hosting Arizona in mid-afternoon. We do get some spill over fans that come up to Cf after being in IC for a morning kick-off that won't be there. On top of that, not sure the name St. Francis is going to bring in any kind of droves of people. I'm hoping for a decent showing, but I think the AD will have plenty of squares of turf left over afterwards. It would be nice to crack 10,000, I'm not sure we'll get there (and I don't expect a big student turn out either).

Hope I'm wrong on this.

p.s. I do expect the crowds will get steadily bigger as the season goes with sell-outs possible for the last three games if we keep playing like we have in the first two weeks.

conference games SHOULD draw more people than non-cons. They mean more. Plus, given our scheduling tendancies, they are usually against tougher opponents (with the exception being possibly Indiana State.)

Re: Saint Francis??

Depending how students show up I'm going to go about 12,400...that is with full students or close too. I could be way off though. It depends how students see this game in terms of needing to see.

but what UNI92 doesn't like to admit, is that his wife bought him a catholic schoolboy outfit, and she dresses up as a priest.....

(oops, did I go too far?)

Yes, let's stick to football please.
