The Crowd

[Applecane]

At game time, the stands looked almost completely empty. Watching from home, I was shocked.
By the end of the first quarter, the crowd looked reasonably decent. (By Cane standards)
Are our fans the latest-arriving in college football? We’re not the only folks who like to tailgate.
Looked like 35,000-40,000 in the stands. That sound right?

 

[Brickell]

The same thing happens for Heat games - crowds don't arrive until the middle of the 1st Quarter.

I guess it's simply a SFLA thing?

 

[TheU1984]

You are what your coach is.

On Cuban time.

 

[TexasCane90]

I’d have to assume that’s an accurate number

I know it’s homecoming but 2-5 UVA team isn’t moving the needle….we need to close the upper decks and force fans down to the lower bowls for games like this

Everyone was at the Titanic for dollar shrimps and wings

I was there and youre right, stadium was not as full as it should have been after last week's game. That being said... season ticket holders are all on the opposite side of the tv camera, so we're always showing the visiting sideline, and the side that is less full. Will rarely look good aside from for marquee games

Another embarrassing home crowd

The crowd was pretty loud when it needed to. The game was pretty boring for a lot of it…

Another embarrassing home crowd

What section do you sit in?

 

[Cane&Abel]

I’m not gonna lie … we really don’t be in a rush to make kick off ! lol I be closing the cooler up about 10 mins before kick off and it’s a 20 walk and process to get in and seated.

I'm the same way, I tell the fam, go ahead on, I'll meet you there, I'm gonna have another beer or 2 then chug a water....I almost always never see kickoff.

The camera faces the opposing team sideline.

Do the math.

 

[GirthQuake]

Or just put a better product out lol. It fills up when there is.

 

[Lokest]

Everyone that thinks crowd size and atmosphere doesn’t impact recruiting and team performance is delusional imo

 

[SayWhat]

People always say that the other side is the visitor side, but that doesn't hold water unless we're different from every away game I've ever attended. In those, we're given the absolute worst seats, generally tucked in a corner somewhere. They just aren't as desirable as sitting behind our bench and not enough of our fans are buying them.

 

[caneworld]

Don't blame the attendance.... it was barely watchable on TV.. our play isn't going to get us too many fans

 

[JgDaCane]

Looked like about 112 on tv.

 

[sedlst11]

The home side bottom and upper deck are always pretty much full. The corner where the students are and that side is pretty much never full. And that’s the side they show.

 

[Gables Canes]

Announced was 58, which has to be a joke
Looked like 30 to 35

 

[mcnaire2004]

The gate reports the best crowd of the year at 58k.

We'll never have a good crowd.
