Certainly embarrassing.....but Ball St. was a 3-7 team and my guess is it was probably about 37 degrees in Muncie, OH.  Not a recipe for a full house.

Disappointed with ongoing football fan apathy/empty seats. Especially compared to what is seen elsewhere. Obviously, majority of fan support at games are alum, community and people from the region/area, not current students. A good example was the Wake game where the students/Greeks had their thing going under a huge tent. There were things there for them to enjoy and it was well managed (DJ, giveaways, etc.) and it was rockin'. The students absolutely need to be at the game, however, the parking lots on the other side of stadium were slammed with families, older folks, alums and people driving in from a one-hour radius (and visitors!) with great tailgate setups that just wanted to be there and they were being left alone to enjoy themselves.  Lots of energy from that contingent and these are the people that filled the stadium. Bear in mind that Wake has one of the smallest student bodies in FBS football - about 5,100 undergrads, yet that stadium was pretty close to full for an FCS opponent.  Charlotte, a fairly new program, is filling a 15,000 seat bowl every game and they're not even winning consistently. These two schools are about an hour apart and located in vibrant cities with other programs close by. 

Their crowds are created by a combination of having a decent program and very strong marketing it seems. There are numerous schools in my area, large and small, FBS and FCS, that compete for fans, but they all create this vibe on Saturdays. The football culture in the South is probably stronger than the Mid-Atlantic, but these schools have the same challenges and distractions that TU faces. They have just figured out the formula for success.

So this is the company responsible for the new branding for towson being rolled out in 2019, new logo all that jazz. but they also have a feature on their site about work they did with george mason's athletics. Couldn't hurt to see how masons attendance played out and to take some things from it.
