How about we do the bring a can of food thing? Would that satisfy youIt’s easy, when MU has the 15 deal on end zone seats, those sections are always the fullest in the place.
But let’s keep it at 30-40 a head and in 10 years when only 10K are at the games, we’ll see the same posts about why we can’t get 30K in the place every Saturday.
Something that can help is having a special guest of some kind, lead the chant on the microphone on the field. Doesn't have to be some superstar, just someone getting recognized for good they've done.In all fairness to the
In all fairness it was chaotic at times. People start chanting we are... marshall then the dj starts up and pa guy saying something else and band starting up too was just like wtf is going on right now? Then when the board is saying to start a we are chant they announce to pay attention to the dj lol like what are we really supposed to be doing right now? At one point the crowd yelling really loud and they announced to listen to the dj he picked a song that hardly anyone got excited for and killed all of the loud cheering for the team. It was the first home game my wife has ever been to and she even said this crowd likes to sit down a lot. Not that we have to stand up all the time but i remember being a kid at the games and it seemed most were on their feet screaming and yelling throughout most of the game. Now it is stand for a big play and hurry to sit back down and just clap from your seat. Lol the game was entertaining and while we beat ourselves it did make the crowd come alive and you could feel the excitement when we were marching down the field with under a minute to go. If we can get a few things cleaned up where the sound is more organized and in sync with one another if could improve the experience a bit but i doubt that is what is keeping anyone out of the stadium by any means. Just seems like we are stuck with a half full stadium for whatever reason
So an empty seat is more profitable than a $15 ticket? Which is mostly done through the Internet. The need to print tickets is diminishing each year. Not to mention the $2 convenience fee applied to each online ticket .Cheap tickets do not generate income. The cost to produce and distribute the ticket consumes the profit margin. Save the fixed cost and just let people in free to certain sections. Sorry, but you can’t pay the bills on reduced ticket prices.
Sammy probably doesn't even attend the games.What a stupid response. I've been paying since 1989. How about you?
This fan base is so fractured that I really don’t know how to do that.But someone needs to unify this fan base ASAP.
We will never sell out the Joan until we play a quality team that travels well and brings their own fans and that’s a fact!!!Two back to back home games and we have a little over 24,000 for each game! Are we so disappointed that we hired a new coach and going to hire a new AD that many have decided not to attend? The weather for both games should not be a factor as both were played in great weather. I hope this is not going to be an indication of poor support moving forward. Losses no matter how they come about are always disappointing to us as fans but without us would we even have a team? And yesterday we should have sold out the Joan to honor the 1971 Marshall team and coaches who kept our football program alive. Just saying I am disappointed with the turn out so far and we have more home games to play. I must conclude that some of our fans have more important things to do on home game Saturday’s. This just my observations. No need to be rude in any responses as I am only questioning our lack of support at a time when we can come back and watch. Covid obviously is still a great concern to many.
I've been informed our fans are customers and we all know that the customer is always right. If they choose to stay on the lot so be it. If they choose not to buy a ticket and stay on the lot so be it. Please don't criticize our customers.
Last 10 rows on the away side and non chair backs should be $15It’s easy, when MU has the 15 deal on end zone seats, those sections are always the fullest in the place.
