Our stadium is looking like Neyland

[BassinGator]

Saw the same empty seats, also doesn't seem that the crowd stays into the game seems to get quiet, no energy.
You would think after a decade of being mediocre the crowd would be a little more pumped up for the entire game. Just Sayin.

You are right. They don’t stay. They aren’t engaged. Welcome to the world we live in. Most are staring at their Twitter page awaiting likes and social acceptance of their kissy fish face photo they were taking, while blocking my view of the touchdown they missed takin said kissy fish faced selfie. There is the problem everywhere not just at bhg stadium.

I’d like this post but I’m too busy taking a selfie!

I was thinking about that as I watched the Pitt/UCF game. Those Pitt students were COMPLETELY into the game the entire time.

It’s weird but we almost need adversity to come alive. Games Iike LSU last year were great all game, but it’s because there was no slack in the action or intensity.

I’ll be honest though. As much as we mock the students for their not showing up, I continue to be amazed at the alum that insist on leaving in the 3rd because of “traffic” and other stupid reasons. It’s really ridiculous.

It's a noon game...
Even during the Tebow years, the energy for noon games was flat.

Guilty as charged. My excuse is I live in Tampa Bay Area Andy I wanted to sit out back by my pool bar on a beautiful day and watch more great college football. I stay if it’s close, in my defense

Additionally, I commit to driving 2 1/2 hours both ways....I’m asking them to cross university avenue. 10 min walk.

On VolNation message board there is a thread "What’s up with those empty seats at BHG stadium?"

A Vol said it was due to the noon kick-off and a lame opponent.

The voles like to think they’re a rival, but Vandy and Kentucky have passed them in the SECE pecking order.

I get it. PBC here. It’s tough and there are exceptions.

At least you’re not one of those guys who quotes your own posts. That’s the worst and something we should never tolerate.

We stayed until the end, had a couple of beers at our car while some of the traffic cleared out, stopped for food in Ocala, and still made it back to Tampa before dark.

Noon games are tough. I think if the offense keeps clicking the stadium will fill up.

In 85, they pretty much were all noon type games. Hell, that was before TV though.

They also give a bunch of tix away to the local high schools. Downtown Pittsburgh is a great place (riverfront) to spend a fall Saturday afternoon.

Mrs. G and I are going to BHG next Saturday night and we promise to stay until the final gun, unless it’s raining or runs past our bed time.

It was the same crowd we've had for several years now. Big spots of empty seats in the Sunshine Seats, student sections, and visitor sections.

Go easy on those non-attending student bodies -- I know it's a viralry game, but there's that strain of Asian flu going round.

Why should students show for a game when the AD wont invest in the arms race? Why should alums stay when we cant even get top 5 recruiting classes? Why should there be energy in the stadium if we know our coach wont last if he doesn't change?

How about some good beer and scotch? Better wi-fi, better food and trash the freakin benches already.

Safe spaces and sushi bars will get the students to the games
