Terrible! Sorry but no one is showing up for a soccer match in the middle of the afternoon. This should be a 7pm game and that stadium would be packed
Agreed
Bad for us…but prime time in Germany…I am not a big soccer fan, but I was considering going. May 29th, 2:15 p.m. 100 degrees out…PERFECT!
Exactly! Is this game is even on TV that we have to worry about what time it is in Germany?
Did you read the press release that Rick posted? The game will be televised in Germany and Ecuador.

Have to stop worrying about what time it is there and worry more about the time it is here and put butts in the seats
My two favorite teams are FAU, and who ever is beating FIU!

Nope didn't read it. Just saw that time the game was. Not too concerned about the game being broadcast in Germany and Ecuador. The only way that helps us if someone sees the game and wants to come here to play soccer or basketball or something. Can't recall ever hearing about this big German football recruit.

You may not be, but I'm guessing the people PAYING for the game to be played at FAU are concerned about the game being broadcast in Germany and Ecuador.
The biggest benefit for FAU is that they are getting paid from someone to use the stadium. Attendance for this match must be a secondary concern for whomever is putting it on since they are playing mid-afternoon on a weekday.

If the requirement was that they had to rent the facility AND make us look good AND make us money then we'd have an even harder time trying to rent it out.
I think if there's any secondary benefit for us it's that we start building a reputation for the facility as a place where the community can enjoy more than just football games. You know, maybe you're a huge fan of a school like Ohio State and couldn't give two ****s about FAU football but hey, you live in Boca and you DO like soccer so yeah, you'll come out to this game.
I'd still like the stadium to take off as a concert venue but it hasn't been used for that purpose yet. I can think of a couple reasons for that but I hope they're able to overcome it and get the ball rolling there.

How awesome is that? FAU should give every single person that walks through the gates a free voucher to any football game this season.Owl2Doc said
