[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 877473, member: 2957"] Agreed on the merchandising. As to attendance, prior to Covid, Tech's average attendance (reported) was 46,556 with a filled stadium capacity of 85%. (I don't think this is "actual" attendance, but the tickets actually sold ... and may include a lot of free, donated tickets that no one used.) I had the actual numbers at one time ... will see if I can dig them up. There are a lot of games where the attendance is <35,000 and in some cases, <31,000. It all depends on the opponent and Tech's record that year. I recall Stansbury saying he wasn't worried about attendance as much as they used to, because fans have so many options ... so now, they look at a composite number that takes all the options in ... streaming, mobile, live, etc ... to see what fan engagement is. Probably makes sense. The problem for sports is ... time. No one wants to spend 4-5 hours at a football game when they can stream it at home. My golf club is building a really nice 18 hole Par 3 course because many casual players don't want to spend 4.5 hours on the course ... they want to play in 2 hours, so this is the current trend in golf design. I think you'll see the same trend in many other sports and if football wanted to get more viewers, they would speed the game up. Some of them are just ridiculous in how much time they chew up. Tech has a core group of 22,000 season ticket holders that they should be marketing to like crazy and trying to extract every dollar they can. If Collins goes 3-9 again, they will lose 10-15% of them. [URL unfurl="true"]https://collegefootballnews.com/gallery/college-football-attendance-5-year-average-for-every-school[/URL] [/QUOTE]
