What was the attendance at the last home game for the previous 5 years. Not trying to argue, just interested.

I was there and there were not 42,000 in the stadium.

Looked every bit of 42,000 to me. Every year the game after Thanksgiving draws poorly. What's the big deal? Our attendance this season has been fantastic. Just as it will next season.

All that it says is no students on campus. Not shocking that stadium wasn't full. Student Section doesn't fill up usually till 2Q during most sell outs. Given the lack of support by the millennials, I doubt they would have showed up even if 10-0 on Saturday.

That was depressing seeing all those empty seats...thanksgiving break or not. WTF???

This program needs DIRECTION.

Start with a new coach, then build a new stadium. BOOM. EASY FIXES.

Half Empty Head Says It All.

Take it up with the computer that counts the crowd from the actually scanned tickets as you enter.

If they let Pitt count the crowd, it would have been 85,000!

O utstanding defense obliterated Liberty, 41-17

T urnovers lose to Oklahoma State, 33-26 in OT despite impressive comeback from 15-point deficit.

A wesome Baylor too much, 62-38.

The stadium was not "half empty" and it does not say it "all."

 

[Cuyahoga Falls Eers]

Let’s look at the record:

2014 average home attendance for D-1 FBS schools: 44,190


Iowa State-WVU attendance: 44,446


Only Texas and Oklahoma average larger crowds than Mountaineer Field this season.


Go beat on another drum.

WVU fans pretend they are a major program deserving of something great.

Not showing up to games unless its a top 15 opponent screams mid major--which much of the fanbase and students definitely are. The students in particular remind one of a mac school where a small portion turnout until halftime and then leave to get drunk.

Come on everyone, my grandson (a WVU soph.)was in on break. He said he would have gone back for a night game but he had cousins in he hadn't seen in months. We had a great time watching the game and playing football in the front yard and BB in the drive way.
Is that wrong to be with family?
