The FSU game crowd

If you want the students back, make it for the students.

They banned the reserved parking spots in late 2017 (blamed it on safety) for chapters & org and the student section has never been the same since.

Reality is that was the first taste of dominance in HRS & they realized all the money they were losing by not selling a **** ton of premier parking spots.

That was a different time and a different type of UM student. And the school had half the enrollment it does now. Students leaving at halftime has nothing to do with distance from campus. Look around college football and you'll find this to be an issue just about everywhere. I've seen plenty of posts in various social media groups from older fans at several schools saying its an issue.

Its BEEN an issue, maybe we talk about it now because even when good we see UM students dont care but thats not a surprise. UM football team always been the city team anyways, they couldnt fill stadium up with NYC kids who dont care if they tried.. The kids probably dont want to sit up top because they probably entitled and feel like they cant post "good" pictures on social media and cant make a tiktok

Out of morbid curiosity, I asked Deep Blue to see what research exists on game attendance (see above); not definitive, but interesting to see some trends.

Student section turnout was 75%... mind you tickets for the game amongst students crashed Ticketmaster and sold out QUICKLY. Many of these same students that claimed a ticket went to a dumb EDM concert to do molly and LSD instead.

was at an earlier game this szn....felt a lil messed up n wanted to get back home...walk back to car around mid third quarter...there are like 20+ students walking out . they all.met up at a truck where i parked with another 10 students sitting in the truck bed all to talk about which bar/club
they were about to go to do what u posted above lol
 
For those speculating the attendance for Pitt I went on Ticketmaster tonight and there are around 250 tickets for sale in the entire stadium that are not resale tickets so based on that the game should be an easy sellout. It also helps that face value is 75% cheaper in the upper deck when compared to the FSU game. Jacking up the ticket prices for a terrible FSU team (record-wise) does not do our fans reputation any favors. If you want to do that for club and 100 level that is more defensible. But charging $225 to sit in the 200th row is ridiculous.
 
Felt like the stadium was more filled out vs Central Michigan than Fsu. I think it’s a combination of the students who would rather sneak their cherry vapes in for half a games worth of their time, and also it becoming a corporate type event with second hand ticket brokers overcharging and not selling.

An easy sellout? I’ll believe that when I see it lol all I know is at noon there will be 36k in their seats because our stupid fan base can’t get in the stadium on time. Ever.

This will never change. I still remember my first Orange Bowl game, swaths of people left the Orange Bowl as UCLA took a 38-21 lead in that 1998 game.

I do think that college towns and their fans are different than big metropolitan cities. I see a lot of the same stuff in Los Angeles...

They missed one **** of a comeback and an instant classic. Edge went off in that game and destroyed the Bruins defense. Scott Covington also had a great game.
