Disappointment or reality on our small fanbase

[jtung230]

This trend of leaving early was there for minny , and even to a slightly lesser extent with ucla

The reality is , the football game is NOT the event on game day for a decent chunk of our fan base …the tailgating matters a lot more to a third of our non student base and for the students …iits aboht being a part first and the game to the fringe students , is as much about making an appearance

It’s a Process …this year , the number of fans in the seats this year was the highest in a long long time . Big check mark…especially with so many nooners

But It’s going take time to get them to arrive earlier and stay the duration .

We we slowly getting there …and becoming more B1G….will take more time ….and more time that I would like

Didn’t see it at Minny. Remember joking about traffic leaving that I should’ve left early.

Don’t believe what the ticket office tells you. Attendance is overstated by 8k to 10 k each game.

Everything is fake news now. All the students are AI generated images

Everyone doesn't have Iphones. I have the NWS website saved on my browser for weather.

Not sure why you brought up global market share here. iPhone is expensive compared to Android. But I think the iPhone market share in the TRI states is higher than 59%.

I don’t see the season ticket number increasing next year. Going back to the original post, we have a small, loyal base. Most of the balance are casual fans….or worse, freebies. The freebies won’t buy season tickets…they are local pee wee teams and Boy Scout troops and shit like that. And there is really no incentive for the casuals to go all in with season tix. They can buy on stub hub for a fraction of the real price (especially when considering required donations). We will be stuck in the 20ish range until we make a big splash kind of season. 7-5 or 6-6 won’t do it, nor will 8-4. We have to win big games and get exciting. I’m actually more worried about the loyal base shrinking. Most of the base is either pretty old folks who have been around forever or they are somewhat old like me and they’ve been around for 15-20 years. For some reason we keep coming back, but some are dying off and some move away, etc. We are not likely going to be adding to the base for a while…if we ever do get over the hump.
