It was cold as shit that week. Believe it was below 20 degrees at kickoff.MrTitleist said:I'm surprised the Boise attendance was low.
MrTitleist said:The weather concept is kind of perplexing to me.. I've watched Montana playoff games in <10 degree weather and the stadium was jam packed.. I'd guess about half of the 25000 people travel from elsewhere to watch the game. The roads and weather are pretty fickle here, maybe less so than Laramie, but still not fun if you're driving over from Eastern Washington or the Butte or Great Falls areas. Cold as shit isn't really an excuse for us not to show up to a game.. easy to bundle up, and easy to get some liquid coolant in you. I believe an apathetic fanbase is mostly to blame.
We do have the summit and some idiot trucker doing 70mph down it causes accidents, especially in the winter.MrTitleist said:The weather concept is kind of perplexing to me..

It would help attendance if they allowed beer in the stadium.
Sam Boyd Stadium (UNLV) does.MrTitleist said:I've never been in a college stadium that allowed beer sales.. that didn't seem to steer people away, nor did people need the extra help getting a little twisted.
