That is terrible after all the effort that went into promoting this.

Hotel you are 100% on the money when you said "Until they get it and build SOMETHING on campus, I can't see it getting much better."

One problem I saw was a lot of people, probably a couple of hundred, hanging around outside the stadium at half time. I don't know if they ever into the stadium or if they had left, if they went back in.

I wouldn't worry about attendance, sponsors did buy 27,000 tickets before the season, which need to be counted with those attendance figures, this was one adjustment the NCAA made with the new attendance ruling - teams can now count the number of sold tickects as oppose to actual in attendance numbers, so we should fall within the 15,000 average or 60,000 in attendance by the end of the season.
There is no question that having a stadium on campus will help - I hear it all the time about having to drive to Lockhart, after I mention that it's only a 15 min drive from Glades - the preception is still Lauderdale.
We need something on campus, in Palm Beach County period.
I came to the game late ??? and there was a bunch of students outside the stadium still tailgating, far no many.
All I can say is we need to wait till after the season to see what the Commity that is reviewing the Dome proposal will do, I am sure that they are aware of the urgency that we are in and must trust that they will make the correct decision on the facilities that is needed in the nearest of future needs of this Athletic program. This is a very important chapter of this young program if there is hope of continued success.
This program needs a place they can call home and a place they can help shape the identity of this program.

The other thing is that a lot of those kids would go just to scream, get crazy and have fun. Duh.
There is a sense of pride win or loose when you have a place of your own. I don't feel that at Lockhart and never have. You want attendance up, build something and it must be sooner rather than later.
Personally I think its a big bunch of BULL they are tying the off ramp to the stadium. Do they do that for the malls that have thousands moving in and out every minute of the day. Give me a break quit the damn politics and build the stadium

With all the politics, the financing and everything else involved, it just doesn't happen over night. And I know we all would like answers today, as to what will eventually happens and it's rather fustrating not knowing, we just have to remain hopefull that we do have the right people in place to get this thing done one way or the other.
