True but that can't be a regular occurrence (assuming we'd even be ESPNs pick for weeknight games) or going forward it will hurt what little fanbase we have. People aren't going to rush out and get season tickets to see us play a bunch of weeknight games.

I wouldn't recommend more than one weeknight home game per year.

I also wouldn't mind us playing the Sunday (or Monday) of Labor Day for increased exposure.

kudos to anyone sitting in those stands that might not be friend or family of players/coaches. Those are some hard core fans. Bet it was cold, too
