[QUOTE="Techster, post: 377117, member: 360"] Wait, but it's just soccer, right? How is it a team with literally ZERO history able to manufacture and organize the atmosphere and crowd participation while GT, playing football since the 1890's, has a hard time getting our fans to even stand up for a good play? Atl United had absolutely no history, yet not no only did they fill up BDS (and GT campus with tailgaters and supporters just wanting to be part of the atmosphere), they went on to fill up a 70K Mercedes Benz stadium. The atmosphere of GT games is like bingo nights at a retirement home compared to the atmosphere of Atl United games. It's looked down upon to even sit down during ATLU games. How awesome is this...and it was at EVERY game: [MEDIA=youtube]-eSzGisaeRM[/MEDIA] The fact of the matter is, GT football just isn't putting out a product that attracts sidewalk fans...heck, there are quite a few GT fans that quit attending games. If you want to see what a good product can do, just look no further than GT basketball. Our attendance was a wasteland with Brian Gregory as our head coach. But with Pastner and his brand of basketball, attendance is making a comeback, and a lot of the fans coming back aren't necessarily just GT fans. They're sports fans that just want to see an entertaining product. Is it just a coincidence GT has great attendance against good team? [/QUOTE]
