It all lies squarely on the shoulders of RV, a bunch of couches, and the refusal of the band to wear full uniforms in the summer. Fix those things, throw in a few thousand buckets of KFC, and our problems are solved.

I think it's the tricked up uniforms. Fans don't want to look at that crap.

Agreed I've never seen a uniform win a game, but I also tire of seeing a band without uniforms. What they wear is befitting of a junior high band.

And at the same time, North Texas has increased attendance from 16956 (2008) to 21030 (2014).

That's a 24% increase while others are watching their attendance decrease.

Further, we have only had 1 winning season in that stretch.

RV has to get a lot of the credit. A 24% increase is substantial.

A new football stadium gets all of the credit for the attendance growth at North Texas. We keep getting beat like we have all 3 times this year expect our attendance numbers to start falling.

Attendance grew in the latter years of fouts...

Ok.

There was a buzz about Dodge the first year and we brought in some non-conference opponents that would bring fan bases (Navy, Army, Kansas State - heck Rice and Tulsa brought some good crowds). I think that helped the Fouts numbers a lot.

I know I, for one, was very buzzed during the Dodge years.

I remember that one day...

The Field of Dreams effect. I hope this is a bit...

Not much I'd change about our gameday, except free WiFi in the stadium would be nice as well as not serving stale tortilla chips and some of the grossest hot dogs I've ever had.
