Title: How many show up for NJIT tonight?
Post by: mu03eng on November 24, 2014, 08:44:26 AM
Monday night game Thanksgiving week, snow storm planned for 3-5 inches of white death around dinner time, overall depression from Saturday's result.  How many people you think actually show up tonight?  Strikes me we could have the lowest in-person attendance of a game in recent memory.

Not only that, but I was thinking about the TV audience. Going against Monday Night Football is a loser for FS1 no matter what, but this could be really something. I mean, is there such a thing as a negative number?

I'll be among the tens of fans watching, though!

Maybe the number is better than you think since no one will attend in person.

Add in an 8:00 o'clock.  Start which means for us over an hour away, getting back home after 11:30, with snow, later than that.... and I won't be attending.

I say actual attendance of 6K to 7K.

I was actually just wondering the same thing as i have decided to go.  I paid for it with my season tickets, might as well use it.  Plus i figured there will be about 3000 in attendance, might be able to sit in some open courtside seats. 

With that being said, if anyone has up close lower level seats that they aren't using for tonight, PM me.

I'll be there. Hoping the snow holds off but that looks unlikely.

Not going, but warriorchick jr. is using my tix to go with a friend, so net attendance affect = 0.

I'll be there.  As some other posters mentioned, the tickets are paid for so it is a good excuse to have a couple of beers at the BC with friends before a week of family time.

I'll be at the game. I'm guessing around 5,000 will be in attendance.

Eh, I'm skipping it.  Hour drive each way in the snow and getting home at midnight doesn't sound appealing tonight, especially when I can watch it on TV.  I just need to stop at the liquor store on the way home from work now.

I don't live in Wisconsin so I'm sure this is a wildly inaccurate statement, but it always seems to me the road conditions are typically suboptimal for a city and state that has a high frequency of $hitty weather.

I will show up in Spirit. Wojo needs to pull one out of his buttocks, or slurp season will be over, and many will be praying for a Hail Mary. But we have glory days ahead of us, which is better than behind us, eh, Bruce?

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that cheers Marquette with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen of Marquette now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs’d they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That cheered with us upon Marquette-NJIT day!

I will be there but only because I made plans with a bunch of friends.  I think this will be the smallest crowd in recent memory.  Everything is working against a normal crowd tonight.

Might be a good number...what they thought was a pointless buy game could now be thought to be a barn burner, more interesting to attend.

I just drove the 4 1/2 hours from Rochester, heading to the game, spending the night, heading back tomorrow.

Clearly the MU marketing department is behind the times.  They need to fill up the Bradley Center for these few, remaining barn burners we have left on the schedule.  After..... it's a money pit.

Jimmy Mac tweeted that he requested that the game start late because of weather conditions.

I seem to remember from last year that the back end of the FS1 double headers always started a little late, in case the early game ran late.

Anyway, not sure how starting an 8:00pm game any later helps fans with weather conditions...so they can be out on the roads even later on their way home from the game?
