Will the noon start help or hurt attendance?
Historically it 100% hurts.Will the noon start help or hurt attendance?
Always hurts.Will the noon start help or hurt attendance?
I dont know how we can say thats true. go look at attendance across the yrsHistorically it 100% hurts.
Now that I think about it, it’s volume that’s affected by noon vs later. That point is inarguable. Maybe you’re right about attendance. But the volume is louder the later the game is. 100%I dont know how we can say thats true. go look at attendance across the yrs
its more often the opp and the team than the time that drives attendance
games where we were favored so better chance we win and were decent
noon games 11 games we had 40K 5 times
1-1:30pm games we had 8games over 40K 3 times
3:30 games 4 games over 40k 0
6:30pm or later 9 games over 40k 5 times.
gamed where we were the dog. so probably more often playing better teams
noon games 16 games over 40k 8 times
1-1:30pm games 3 games over 40k 3 times
3:30 games 4 times over 40k 2 times
6:30 or later games 8 games 4 times
pretty obvious its over 40k about 50% of the time through those 10 yrs but the 3:30 slot actually does the worst.
when we played VT/Miami/Minn/ND/PSU/fSU/pitt/bc and we were decent we drew 40k.
several of our biggest games since 2010 were noon games as well. of the 11 since then 5 were noon games and 6 were night games and 1 was 3:30
now if we want to discuss does it matter that we draw 27k vs 30k because its noon vs 3:30 that would be also hard to show since its pretty clear we are team and opp specific.. And so is bball
there are still lots of people avoiding covid things.. its not like the numbers are really all that good its just being ignored..If the dome doesn’t start to fill up I can’t help but wonder about the amount of fans that either are still scared of COVID or moved out of the area in the last few years

I'll be that guy. What's the attendance going to look like for this weekend? I know we have people very familiar with this sort of thing on this board. Any chance we can get 40k+?
purdue is a better match up. Are you saying this because of friday night vs noon or do you think the potential for 3-0 will be a bigger draw than a 2-0 team?Should get to mid 30's plus of actual people in the Dome versus what's "announced". I think 40K plus actual people is still highly unlikely for Sat but a possibility for UVA.

I don’t disagree with you but Purdue is still a name people recognize. I think for the bandwagon fan it doesn’t matter if it’s Purdue or UVA, they have no real attachment to seeing either team IMO.Better match up perhaps but UVA name carries more weight being somewhat regional and a conference game. Don't think many folks in the Eastern time zone really care how good of a team Purdue is or isn't

Yeah, it wasn't a serious post. I was playing on the UCONN attendance theory offered by one of our more infamous posters.There is one, the one that used to be near the Dome was lost in the law school dorm addition. There really isn't any room for another.
