Predict the SUU game attendance
For comparison, here's the average attendance for SBC teams (number of home games in parenthesis):
26,265 - Troy (1)
24,554 - MUTS (3)
22,009 - ASU (3)
19,113 - UNT (3)
16,160 - ULM (2)
15,482 - ULL (2)
15,193 - FIU (2)
Last year our actual attendance average was
11476 over four home games (45903 total).
However, we did have the heavily-promoted season opener with OSU last year (I think about 16000 attended).
Given that the game has not been promoted at all on campus so far, the OOC opponent (all the way from Utah!), and the difficulty of attracting people to "home" games at Lockhart it may be a challenge to reach 15000 for this game… but I hope I'm wrong.
Lockhart looks better FULL!

The fact that it's a home opener helps, but to what extent? I do expect a nice student turn-out and we should be above last years average of 11.5K.
Go Owls!!

It's nearly halfway into the season, which means it's time for the first home game! Will we make it to 15k this year?

That said, I really hope to see a nice crowd out there, even if it is 8-10,000, that will fill up Lockhart pretty good. We need a big student turnout. I think that the attendance at the ULL game will be much better, being an important conference game and on national TV. Hopefully the students will come out and represent the University well on ESPN2….they should really get the word out about that.

We have to have a minimum of 12-15K in the stands or we'll look pathetic on national TV.
The question is if FAU will do something proactive about it, I'm not holding my breath.
GO OWLS!

They need to do some type of promotion on campus to promote the game next wednesday and please do some advertisements and/or promotion to the generally public.

Another "W" should help.

Did anyone else notice the ad? If you buy 4 tix online you get a free car flag. What the deuce? I've had season tix since Day 1 and I didn't get a free car flag. These are the things they should be sending out to us diehards too. I just love free swag.
And the only attendance prediction I'll make is my group of 8 ticket holders will be there (look for us in LM's picks from last year). And as for the tailgating menu, I'm thinking chicken and steak for the opener.
