night games will bolster attendance.

Will be interesting to see if students go to the Well to work out and then head to the games afterwards.

Winning helps

marketing to community and students is key. The team is getting better and better and hopefully the folks who are paid to fill the stands are working hard to get this done.

Go Hornets.

12,038

I wish I could agree.

1. No Davis
2. No Montana
3. No California teams (Cal Poly or even HSU)
4. Only two night games

If they draw over 10K that would be an improvement. Their early season record will dictate the attendance - struggle early and you won't have a problem finding a seat. If they win, then you can see 12K.

Maybe it would have been better for Sac State sign a home and home wit Cal Poly last year instead of taking the pay check. I sure it would of helped the attendance numbers.

One thing for sure you guys won't be averaging over 10,000!

My guess is 10,400 +/- 250. With most of the home games stacked in the front end of the schedule, the Hornets will need to win early to keep fans coming. Unfortunately as OldHornet pointed out, we host no big draws this season.

Night games always draw more. Depending on the Hornets' record after the third week of play, I'd close to last years average if not a tad under 9k. I'll say 8,947 (just a guess and I hope it's a LOT higher).

There are no teams coming to Sac that anyone other than Hornet fans have ever heard of, it's really going to hurt the attendance IMO.

A win over Stanford, very tough, would make a world of difference in attendance as well this season.

 

[Green Cookie Monster]

I revised mine to 8700.

If we had people bail on the dinner under the lights last night because it was a little cool in AUGUST, what can we expect from the season playing no big-name at home and heaven forbid it be cloudy. Let alone rain. :roll:

I'd love to see over 10k, but I think OldHornet's hit the nail on the head. W. OR, WSU, MSU, NC, and PSU just aren't going to cut it unless Sac's really on a winning streak. Realistically, I see 8500. If Sac wants a case for the WAC though, it'd better be higher than that!

 

[Green Laser]

I think that the early season night games will help build the crowd especially if the team is doing well. I have come to enjoy the afternoon games but it was pretty hot out there during the early season which might have driven some away. The key is to win!

 

[superhornet]

I think it's going to depend on the Stanford game.

Sac wins: 15K or better home avg
Sac loses a close one: 12,500 or better home avg
Sac loses big: Struggle to hit 10K

I agree.

Also, last year the average would have been a lot higher had the NAU game not been on Halloween. That's just not a good day to have a game. There are too many people with kids and theirs too much going on around town on that day.

That and I think that was the week of that incident in the new dorms. Winning cures all.
