WOUB article about the home match vs Central Michigan said the crowd of 1,017 paid was an all time record. But I seem to remember crowds of 2,000 in the past. Someone correct me on this.

Yeah that's definitely a suspicious report. Didn't we average way more than that during carlstons best years?

I want to say we had crowds of 3k+ during the prime years and were Top 25 in attendance at least one season.

I asked myself the same question as I was at the game and Lou announced it over the PA. It was a nice crowd, but I assumed they would of had more during those dominate years.

Maybe something around "paid" attendance? All us dads in town for Dad's Weekend shelled out the $10 for a seat and the prior games > 1000 were free tickets? IDK.

The prime years a Saturday night crowd would be 1,500 minimum, and normally 2K+. I want to say we hit 4K once or twice on Homecoming following the football game.

It was not a record crowd for attendance. The record was more than 3000 and was set with the aid of the post-game crowd from football as stated. We were in the top 25 for attendance in NCAA D-1 that year and the lower bowl for the record setting game was full. Hopefully, we can get back to those days! It was a great atmosphere. Recently the parents of a former player happened to be in Athens and watched a game. They couldn't believe we no longer had a band for the games and remarked how dead the atmosphere was compared to 10 or so years ago.

Now we get just 350 on a Friday night.

No band? Lame.
