Subject: Re: Impressive attendance at The Game Author: SpuytenDuyvil76 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06:33:05 11/29/25 Sat In reply to: InwoodTiger 's message, "Impressive attendance at The Game" on 12:40:06 11/24/25 Mon What the board needs to be reminded of, from time to time, is that football is not the only sport on campus, even in the fall. A much larger percentage of the student bodies are recruited athletes, for a more expanded pallet of sports than in the halcyon days of yore. Even if their sport is not in season, these athletes train year-round. And being IL caliber, they tend to be focused on studies when not training, as they have little time other extra curriculars.

[> Subject: Student Attendance at Games Author: ET [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:06:37 11/29/25 Sat As a very recent grad, I can tell the board that one significant deterrent is just the kickoff times. For the Friday or Saturday night games, attendance seems to be pretty high. But at noon on a Saturday, most students are in the library or in their rooms, busy with work. I often had the Brown game on in the top corner of my computer screen while working. This was the case at Brown and I believe it's safe to assume the same is true across the league. If games were just a little bit later, I think it would be a much more attractive prospect. Students are much more likely to attend if it becomes part of their social calendar for the night, rather than having to sacrifice study time during the day and having to make up for it on a Saturday evening.
