Message: [QUOTE="HRE Otto IV, post: 5161165, member: 5685"] Different times. Part of that stretch games could be blacked out locally. Part of that stretch not all games made it to TV. The entire stretch HD and large flat screen TVs did not exist. The entire stretch we did not play FCS teams. Heck we didn't even play many G5 teams. We also played in a conference with a bunch of teams that were all a short to moderate drive away, minus Miami. Now we have only 2 that we play yearly. OOC we used to play 2-3 "Power" teams a year and 1-2 non FBS "Power" teams. Now we normally play 1 "Power" team, 2 non, and an FCS. That makes a big difference for attractive Home games. So on top of being a Top 20 program during that stretch, the above helped drive attendance. Since those conditions do not exist, IMO we would not have the same demand. Especially for the OOC games which are much much weaker. So IMO I think those OOC non P4 games and the really bad ACC games won't typically sell out. [/QUOTE]
