I can’t understand why they aren’t developing student groups and class representatives to boost attendance at the games. Make it a big deal to go to games on campus. Heck, we had to schlep down to the Convention Center to see most games.
I have been to a couple of Univ. Alabama Huntsville games, a D-2 program and other student athletes as well as a lot of students attend. For a D-2 Commuter school, it’s a pretty impressive setup as well.
A local car dealer underwrites free tickets for anyone in the upper deck, so admission is only charged for premium seats.
It would be nice if Niagara would aggressively try to promote their programs.

It'll be a big deal to go to NU basketball games when the team starts winning more...win and they will come. But true, the administration could do something to encourage attendance. It's like they don't care.

let's see - whats the incentive for athletics to have big attendance at games? I'll make assumptions on their duties

https://purpleeagles.com/staff-directory

Simon's job is to fundraise and oversee athletics

Ticket Office Coordinator/Secretary-Hockey is a shared position, do they make calls to renew season tickets? group sales?

Senior Associate Athletic Director/Senior Woman Administrator doesn't have any duties listed on the web site

Internal person
direct responsibility for the department of compliance, human resources, facilities and operations. She will have direct oversight of several athletic programs and employees, as well as summer camps, the equipment room and executing several contracts

My guess, like a lot of corporations - the top two have cushy jobs in my opinion
