Same 12 people every week.
Unfortunately my wife and I won't be able to make it this week due to a school commitment. Somebody's gonna notice. Ha

I'm guessing seven thousand last weekend. But oh boy was the tragic flow wonderful. And security had multiple baskets to put valuables in. Hahaha. Just a bit late .Posted On: Sep 24th 2019, 5:55 PM #389010
Announced attendance was 14,210. Football vs Wagner on 9/21/2019 - Box Score - Florida Atlantic University Athletics
Honestly, I believe the figure. If the figure were a lie, then you would have to imagine they would use the tickets sold figure, which would total well above 14,210. The total from season ticketholders and students alone tops 15k.
I have no expectation anyone would go out of their way to see Wagner play so I am not dissapointed at all by the low attendance figures. Hopefully it gets more crowded for MTSU, Marshall, and fiu. I expect nothing from the USM attendance because of Thanksgiving weekend.

I'm not saying the announced attendance was a lie - I just don't think everyone was in their seats at the same time.
There were quite a few students in the overflow seats but the main student section wasn't full. We saw a lot of students about 1.4 miles from the beach after their tailgate was shut down by the police.

and even at places at Bama and Wisconsin, you see the same complaints about arriving late and leaving early.
Many students are not hardcore college football fans and seeing us play Wagner just is not a big enough "event'' to grab their attention.

Seems like it is going to take a combination of winning, a “name brand” opponent, and probably a solid visiting crowd (those last 2 seemingly always go hand-in-hand) to have a near full stadium. UCF brought a ton of people, and Marshall always travels well (they’ll probably bring as many or more fans than FIU). But it takes a lot of curiosity (Lane’s first game against Navy) or a big-time opponent (UCF a couple of weeks ago) to significantly move the needle in Boca.
Of course the same can be said at most places that aren’t in the top-25 or considered “blue blood” programs. Just the way of the world now.
