I have season tickets. I was moving all day Saturday, but you would have had to pay me to go to that game. 11:30 kickoff for Western Carolina? Yeah, have fun.
I'm with you. Like I said, the only reason I went was because someone gave me a great ticket, and it was too convenient for me to pass up. I don't blame people for not going, and I don't blame the team for scheduling a cupcake game like this. It's a brutal schedule, and you have to catch a couple easy games throughout the year. I just wish there was a better solution for filling the empty seats for games like this.

For the student section, you have to turn your tickets back in or get penalized if you don't plan on going. After so many penalties, you forfeit your right to buy tickets the next year. Can't they do something similar?

I was there, and I was stunned at the empty seats.
Been to virtually every home game since the 90s and that was literally the worst turnout I've ever seen.

Cupcake games are the only games I can afford to go to, but no way I'm attending one at 11:30.

I drove 4 hours from the Florida line, brought my fiancee and two friends. We were very happy to be there. Our fans are spoiled.

The attendance was poor but I was surprised at the number of people who actually stayed the whole game. Some left at halftime or the start of the 4th quarter but not nearly as many as usual for a blowout game. Guess it was a combination of really nice weather and the people in attendance for that game were either hard corp fans or fans who don't get to go to games very often.

It looked good on tv. I was actually suprised at how many were there.
And like someone said earlier, a lot of kids went home Friday for a long break. I don't blame them

Had a university official come around to the suites on Saturday specifically addressing capacity issues. One of the things mentioned was more than likely, the students will lose the upper SE next season.
