Great start time. Conference opponent. 6-1 record. Those fans don't deserve that team. geez. That's why they should not have been allowed in the MWC with San Jose

I'm glad they're in the MWC.

Huh? They are on a completely different level than SJSU.

I bet you if SJSU were 6-1 and the recent success of Ut. st. they would have about 16k fans at their games

We aren’t in a position to be looking down at USU right now.

I think we have more game history with Utah State, and maybe New Mexico. Obviously, the stinky sheep leads. San Jose should probably drop athletics altogether.

Wasn't all that long ago that we had games with under 10k in the stands.

I'd rather worry about what we do than what others do.

No doubt. On that note - did you see the attendance for the game before ours on CBS Sports? I think it was Louisiana Tech...couldn't have been more than 5,000 there. Sad.

Outside of the big programs with oodles of legacy seatholders, live sports attendance is tanking. Inconvenience, improved technology, the wide availability of game broadcasts or streams, the unpredictability of weather, the relative disinterest of millennials and their propensity toward indoor activity are all working against attendance at live sports events.

In the future, I see smaller stadiums that are highly amenetized, including concourse lounges, in-seat food ordering via smartphone apps, personal game "broadcasts", and near-constant promotional activity similar to what goes on at NBA and NHL games...

Legalizing sports gambling will so add to this. Stadiums will become real time casinos via smart apps. Betting on the outcome of replays, free throws, field goals injuries etc

I think you're right and that's depressing. Personally, I just want to watch the game free of the other distractions. It's why I decline to sit in the Wildcatter and other similar box type situations.

No one would force you to participate in any of such things...

You're absolutely right. But I get distracted easily and have a hard time focusing with so much else going on in the background. It's my personal preference and I absolutely realize that sports franchises have to evolve to the desires of the population and fanbases as a whole (the majority of who probably like and require the additional entertainment).

I don't know about this. Nothing compares to the energy in a stadium right before kickoff or at the end when the game is really close. I think teams that are good put asses in the seats.
