I read this board daily and all I hear about are the disappointing number of people at the games.  I can't force people to the games but I can do my best to help create an atmosphere where it is fun...at least in my section.

I had fun and watched my team play, that's all I can ask.  I also give tickets away to people or friends that will actually show up.  Beyond that, why even complain, change won't happen until the Athletics Dept. of the university decides to change it with pricing structure, promos, giveaways, advertising and other out of the box creative ways to pack the Dome.  Control the Controllables, I am in the camp that it is firmly within their control to get people to the dome.

There has to be a way to make every gameday an "event", other schools do.

It seems the University will have to try and rebuild the fanbase from scratch.  Starting by getting younger kids involved, the future fanbase.  Do a promo where for 5 years they "rollback the prices" to the 80's or something, get people interested then over time gradually raise the prices.  If they typically bring in a $500K for a game and get an announced crowd of 36K.  Take that $500K of expected revenue and adjust prices so that we can get an announced crowd of 45K.  Would rather have a packed dome with the same revenue of future fans and young people than 36K.

Just rambling...sorry.
