The Dome was empty...again. Where are the fans?


Wow barely anyone showed up

I don’t know how this is helpful for fans to post this. Red is getting fired. There’s no reason to highlight poor attendance and make us look worse. Please stop sharing this stuff on social media. It’s a lame duck administration, and everyone knows it. Same attendance issues plagued Louisville during the second year of the Kenny Payne era.
 
Prepare for A LOT of fouls on us.

...and very few fouls called on UNC (unless they have our barn doors off early...)

We know this ACC drill.
Caleb Wilson. Fractured left hand. We might not see him which is a huge shame. Future NBA star.
 
I cannot speak to BBall but I do think that the FB games became less collegiate and more minor league baseball like. And also more corporate. That isn't so much a JW thing as a college sports in the 2020s thing.

People have been complaining about this at football for 30 years. It started with piped in music instead of hearing the band when McNabb was at Syracuse. And the PA taking over commercial breaks. Really hard to pin “minor league feel” at football on Wildhack when it’s been a trend for two generations now.

Complaining about game day environment is really just complaining about not winning but trying to find a new angle. It’s less fun to go when the team isn’t winning? No kidding.

IMO there has been a noticeable difference at games. Nothing was worse W/L wise than the GRob era. If it has gotten worse that that era can't use W/L as an excuse.

But like I said not really so much a JW thing as a industry move. I was at the Notre Dame game and it was crap compared to the last time I was there.

Went to the Duke fb game this year, thought the pregame was the best I've seen it (looked like SEC in training) and they do a decent job with the pre-game stuff...alma mater, etc ...seems to get better every time.

The game stunk, clearly.

What specifically was different you didn’t like. The seating is better now, Micron Lounge area is nice…speakers are a catastrophe that still hasn’t been fixed - but overall I’d say football gameday experience is better now than 7-10 years ago.
