JMU attendance predictions

[Junior]

all those excited Mustang fans must have been wearing purple last week

Nope. I was wearing red.

I agree 100% that CM sells the program to the fans, students and community like NO ONE else, that will most defiantly help attendance. But, I think we played competitive and exciting football a few years back (incl a division title, Conf Champ game appearance, and 4 bowls/3w's). still not a lot of impact. Now had everything been the same except CM was the HC then, oh yes that would have made a diff. on the attendance ... some. So many on this board jump to the defense of our lack of crowd support (that's just MO), and then come up will all kinds of reasons. But, one common theme has been, we do not play anyone our fans know or care about. Other than our OCS (which is like it has been opponent wise for some time now), our home in conf sch is like it has always been. So CM (I love him), I don't think he alone will get it done, even if we are playing exciting football.

What will it take ... that is the 1mm dollar question, any many have opined. Don't take my post the wrong way. I love who we have steering the ship, love what he has done, and what he will do .... first class all the way .... LIGHT years ahead of JJ. I will be at the games (yes standing and yelling), just not sure how many will follow.

You mean the 7-5 season in 2010 in which SMU made the conf title game because the division sucked so bad? Come on. He lost the next 2 games. Jones half a$$ed everything since day 1. And yes attendance did go up. What were you expecting, 32k each game the next year? 6-35 vs teams with winning records. SMU was at best mediocre.

in 2010-the year after our first bowl in your life- SMU averaged less than 18,000 in 6 games-and had a sellout against TCU. 4 crowds 19,000 or less.

That game had a solid contingent of SMU fans as well. I remember when we intercepted Dalton close to their end zone and the place erupted. That was an awesome game. I believe next year will be pretty hyped.

It did have a good amount of SMU fans and had to have been one of the louder SMU games before TCU started pulling away.

18,000 being an uptick from the Bennett Days. Look at the attendance....10k, 11k, 13k....it was pathetic. But it did creep up afterwards, and in 2011 it was around 20-23k. Attendance had been creeping up. Give credit where credit is due, a lot of people were excited during that time.

I think all of those sections in the northeast corner of the stadium, are being held for the middle school kids and their folks.....let's hope a bunch of them show up. I don't see how we get "25,000" tomorrow, unless there is an UNBELIEVABLE walkup sale. There's a ton of tickets remaining, 18,000 real fans in the stadium, would be nice. Pony Up!

So, the northeast corner of the stadium.
