In addition, I think the lack of quality competition this year really got attendance off to a poor start that it never recovered from.
i agree. if next yr is the worst home schedule in our 54 year history it will hurt attendance. when you play 14 home games and lose the crowd of 10k from usu or byu that alone drops the average 700-800 per game.
i think utahn's in general, like anywhere else in america are wanting to see top level competition...or at least better competition. people watch byu and utah football like they are nfl teams. both have upgraded schedules significantly since the conf realignment era started. in the same time frame weber's home scheduling of competition has become much worse.
we all hate that the students dont show up. but its much more exciting to show up and be 1 of a few thousand students when your hosting teams from the mtn west, pac12, gonzaga, st mary's on espn. i like the big sky but names like n. colorado, psu, ewu, sac don't demand big crowds.
