At Depaul Home Game

[Not A Serious Person]

Just got back from the Depaul game.

Attendance was listed as 6,836.  Capacity was 10,327.  my guess is it was more like 5k at the game.

I would say it was 70% MU crowd.  A real home game for us.


Does anyone know ... how many Depaul games are a home game for the road team?

Well done Wades.
That WAM chant was LOOOUUDDDD! On tv.

About 2500 left in the stadium at that point.  2450 were MU fans.

60 - 40 in my opinion, but the DePaul fans never were into it.   Superior to them in every facet never allowed them to become vocal in any significant way.

It was loud there too. Loved it.

You're nuts, not quite 50% MU.

[GooooMarquette]

And of the other 50, 1 was the DePaul fan and the other 49 were just a bunch of locals who had nothing else to do tonight.

[Marquette Gyros]

Agree with this.  Still impressive.

[LloydsLegs]

60/40 DePaul to MU in numbers.
60/40 Mu to DP in loudness most of the game.
100/0 MU to DP in loudness at key points, including WAM at end.

No students to speak of.  The support for the program is trash.

Excluding the band, more MU fans in the student section than DU students. The game day experience was very good.  Their DJ > than ours (and I like ours, but the Vesties have muted them).

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Ive been to at least 20 MU games at Depaul.  This is the most Depaul fans at the game that i can recall in a really long time.  However the posters that said the Depaul fans were never allowed to get in the game are correct

The DJ was awful! Terrible song selection at a few key moments. And they're game - intro song stinks.

She was the only thing going to give them any energy.  At FF, they have now toned the DJs down so much you don't even know that they are there.

Saw one guy in a Wisconsin sweatshirt.

This.  It was my first time in the building (but chick's 2nd or 3rd).  I kinda liked the joint.  But not sure what it truly offers DePaul as it's really no more convenient to campus than the Allstate was.

Glow and I were behind one of the baskets. A couple of guys in DePaul sweatshirts behind us were acting like first-class a-holes.
A minute or two into the game, one of them shouted at Theo, "Just foul out again already! " Theo shot him a look that would have made that guy pee his pants if the two of them were standing out on Cermak Avenue.

Unfortunately, we were also within 50 feet of that obnoxious walk-on of theirs. I don't know what keeps the rest of the team from taking him under the El tracks and kicking the crap out of him.

That's actually a little bit funny

Depauls student body isn't focused around campus like MU's is. Not sure being on campus would make a massive difference.

Is DePaul's student body still primarily commuter students?

[Lighthouse 84]

In the area we sat, it was 80% MU fans.  We were about 10 people to the right of the Hausers.  At half, coming back from a beer trip, we talked to Mr. Hauser and asked him why he didn't have more like Sam and Joey in the pipeline.  He said, "it's not for lack of trying!" 

Overall though I'd say it was at least 50-50 fans.

Apparently Theo disagreed, and I definitely want to be on his side in a fight.

I should also mention that it was after a call that did not go Theo's way. So it was a taunt, not an expression of hope.

[Galway Eagle]

That is my understanding unless it's change extensively in the past 5yrs.

Thank God. I dont need a girl screaming about random blindfolded find the money crap.

I practically live on Depaul's campus, just a few hundred yards from Wish field.

The problem Depaul has it is in a wealthy neighborhood, there are $4 and $5 million homes just south of Belden less than a nine iron from campus.

So when it is noted that 80% of the kids commute, that does not necessarily mean they live at home.  To afford an apartment they live five or six L stops away, or about 30 minutes to get to campus.  So no student neighborhood just off campus.    This kills any school spirit that having a bunch of kids living on or near campus would generate.

(to be clear, Depaul has some dorms, but only enough to cover part of the Freshman class.)

ADDED

I took the red line to and from the game from the Fullerton stop (the stop in the middle of Depaul's campus).  Both ways had more MU fans than Depaul fans (based on attire).
