LOUISVILLE, Ky. —                                             
Second-year University of Louisville athletic director Vince Tyra is speaking out about poor attendance numbers at home football games.
The school's announced attendance for Saturday's home game against Wake Forest was just over 49,000. However, by the third quarter of the blowout loss, a majority of Cardinal Stadium's 61,000 seats were empty.

Tyra said the lack of support is hurting UofL's ability to recruit high-profile players.
"Fans want to send a message to the program that, 'We don't like where we are.' And it's not going to improve if you're going to help us run off recruits," Tyra said. "We need fans there to show their loyalty, show their support and help us get these top recruits and be there."
UofL offensive lineman Lukayus McNeil has issued an apology for slamming fans on Twitter over lack of attendance at Saturday's game.
In the apology, McNeil said, "We've always had great fans who have supported this team and I want to thank all the people who greeted us at Card March."
