641?!?!
That was the ANNOUNCED attendance for Sunday's victory over YSU. I know that the NFC championship game started two hours after the opening tip, but 641 announced?
You would think that Friday's game against CSU would have drawn much better, given that it had no competition from the Packers, Badgers, Bucks or Marquette, right? So what was the attendance?
1,194 ANNOUNCED.
Our season attendance, which now stands at 1,279 per game, is a 50% dropoff from a year ago, when we drew 2,580. Alarming!
In fact, it's never rebounded from the year before the ill-founded (and seemingly purposely harmful) move to the Klotsche Center in 2012, when attendance was 3,498.
Previously, we had never witnessed anything quite so precipitous. To say that I'm concerned is a gross understatement.
