A plea to our "football-only" fans
Are you pleading for the student body to show up or alumni? A 6:30 game on a Wednesday is a B for someone that doesn’t live in close proximity. I live in Allen and could never consider that drive. We go to Americans hockey games as they are in our back yard. They aren’t very good but more of a deterrent for us to go to more, is no one is there….on a Tuesday night. If there stands were filled, it would feel more legit and we’d probably go more, even if the quality of play wasn’t there. I suspect the student body wants that same ‘experience’. When I was there so many years ago, we wanted to be where the action was, even if it was dash riprocks. So I see a bit of chicken and egg here. People don’t go because people don’t go. If people would go, more people would go. football games are so much easier to plan for. 1 game a week, generally on a Saturday. You can make a day/event out of it. Weekly, more frequent basketball games, on weeknights, don’t offer the same advantages. All that said, I applaud your plea and hope that the tides change. Would love to hear that the Pit is packed routinely. -

A plea to our "football-only" fans
According to Burton, and I'm sure it's the same with some men's teams, some of the intra-TX teams that you'd think would bring more fans will only come play us if we give them a check. I think investing more in our schedule would be worth it for the larger crowds (plus extra tickets/concessions sold). Stop scheduling Mississippi Valley State. Get a UTA, Texas State, SHSU, LA Tech, UTEP, or SFA in here. Renewing rivalries with WKU and MTSU would also be fun. Agreed, I feel like there was more in the concourse a few seasons ago? But now it is mostly bare and dead. I would like to see somewhere on the concourse a spirit shop you walk through, like the Hangar at the AAC in Dallas. Perhaps it could be the on-campus NIL Store to provide an easy opportunity for our athletes to make more NIL earnings.
