DFW media doesn't help promote us and that hurts.

Piss on the DFW media. Tired of hearing that bullshit excuse. It's simply not true. 

GCU has developed an atmosphere that we envy. They have Arizona State down the road and a basketball blueblood 70 miles away. Spare us.

Didn't say that was the reason fans don't show up, just that it doesn't help.

It certainly doesn't help. But a program ran with department motivation and support doesn't need that fluffed up empty comments on the 10 o'clock news. 

We don't draw because our athletic department SUCKS and has for decades.

To not hover at 5k as our avg and peak 2 or 3 times a year to 7k+ is an absolute pathetic joke and frankly people should be fired for avgeraging 3k+ and peaking to 5k, what, once? The athletic department is culpable. 

Some moron on here (not the person, the comment) was posting an entire thread about the "great attendance at the finale." It was 4199. Lol. They gotta be hired AD bugs. 

The AD makes a pathetic effort and the school spirit is like an ember that is in need of something to get it burning, but too many people just walk by the pit and won’t even attempt to help.

Maybe the elephant in the room is that the AD doesn’t care about attendance because that isn’t a metric he gets evaluated on. Winning percentage or wins across all sports would make sense on why the AD is lackluster on promoting fan attendance. I don’t really know. Just a thought.

Revenue and attendance run parallel.

Unless you only care about bigger donors and have contracts that get extended for staying in budget, like RV had. 
 

The sad thing about attendance is that we even have an issue with it. A school this big with this large of an alumni base, in a giant metro area and we can’t sell out the 31k seat football stadium even one time EVER and the 10k seat Super Pit hasn’t seen a crowd of close to capacity in decades. 
 

But as someone said, it’s not like the Murchison Center is ever filled to capacity or the Art Department can’t keeP people from seeing an art exhibit or dance performance because too many people are attending. Literally, nobody cares about ANYTHING the university sponsors in any decent number. It’s like the complete 180 degree opposite of A&M, where the brain washing is so strong that these people only wear maroon and khaki and drive maroon cars.

Those programs like A$M are on automatic as far as a fan base.   Not much for an AD to do except rake in the cash.

For our level program we have better facilities, location, and resources, plus more students, than many of our peer FBS programs. 

But as fans we know we should be getting better attendance and support= more donations.   This requires effort and research on the reasons and solutions from the AD.   We haven't seen much in that regard.
