One of only 8 schools to average at least 2K fans a game over the past 5 years. I could see them jumping Albany, Army, and Denver for Top 5.

Or if the sport ever comes to their senses and moves the season to a March start and go through June.Based on these numbers, I have no doubt that we would be in the top 3 if we played our home games in decent weather.
Yea the weather thing kills us. We are top 5 dealing with a NE Feb and March.
There's zero doubt in my mind that RU would be Top 5 nationally in attendance every year with a March-June season. We average like 4-5K a game from St. Patrick's Day on which is better than anyone not named Cuse, Maryland, or Hopkins.Yea the weather thing kills us. We are top 5 dealing with a NE Feb and March.
Move the season back and move us into a lax only facility and we’d be top 5 with our eyes closed, probably higherThere's zero doubt in my mind that RU would be Top 5 nationally in attendance every year with a March-June season.

Cuse plays indoors now so whatever they’re averaging won’t move much if at allEyes closed? Doubtfull. The same season calendar would apply to Hop, Md., Cuse (assuming a better team than the last year or two), UVA, Duke, UNC, and Cornell. Notre Dame, Georgetown and Loyola might enter the picture. Again, RU attendence is solid but not in a class by itself.
RU does well. The team that gets truly crushed is Cornell. Will be interesting to see a result for Yale when they have 5 seasons with a indoor option.

Hop & MD id assume would eclipse us
UVA, UNC & Duke have better weather and lax only facilities right now (meaning they don’t play in fb stadiums), so that could be a wash
Georgetown - possibly
Loyala is intersting - they might eclipse us
ND & Cornell are still too cold
Cornell is building a new indoor facility that will be ready for the 2026 season. They are going to play men’s and women’s lacrosse games in it but I’m not sure what the capacity is
New indoor sports facility to honor Peter C. Meinig ’61 | Cornell Chronicle
The Department of Athletics and Physical Education has announced plans to build an indoor sports and recreation facility on Tower Road. The facility will be called Meinig Fieldhouse, in memory of former Board of Trustees chair Peter C. Meinig ’61.news.cornell.edu
Will they be top 10 again, though that is the questionA Top 10 Syracuse team used to put 8-10,000 in the Dome for UVA, Duke or Cornell. April Cornell games are a different world than February. Same for Notre Dame.
Hope they can. Gotta be a challenge convincing kids to spend 4 years in middle of nowhere New Hampshire unless they love skiing/snowboarding. I'd imagine it's far easier to convince players to go to basically every other Ivy.Dartmouth's opened this year. Now they have to develop a team that's competitive

I’m not sure where Dartmouth ranks in comparison to those three academic wise (obviously below Wharton for their business school) but campus & town wise, I definitely prefer Dartmouth
