[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 867138, member: 4572"] That photo is from at least 2015, if not further back. It’s only gotten worse since then. I think a big problem is that a lot of Tech fans just assume that others will provide support to the programs in place of them, but there are no others. There aren’t hundreds of thousands of us scattered across the state searching for tickets or providing support by buying merch or donating. I think you could take every single Georgia Tech fan who regularly follows the program and we wouldn’t be able to fill up a 80,000 seat stadium. Our baseball team, ranked in the top 20 in the country got outdrawn this weekend by Louisiana Tech and UT Rio Grande Valley and other schools of similar stature. Who even knew UTRGV had a big enough stadium to bring in that many people? A top 20 P5 team in the heart of a major metropolitan area has fewer fans show up than some random mid majors in the middle of nowhere. Yeah I know baseball isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s about the concept. We filled basically 1/4 of Russ Chandler while much smaller schools in much smaller cities are getting close to 100% capacity with 1,500+ people. Our basketball team struggles to fill 50% of a pretty small arena relative to other P5 schools. I wouldn’t be surprised if the WCU game doesn’t draw 50% of BDS’ capacity. It’s embarrassing for those of us who do care, and do support the programs. And it’s embarrassing for the players to play in front of empty seats and dull crowds. I don’t have the answers for how to fix it, but man do I hope there’s a peak on the other side of this valley. Georgia Tech has too rich a history to go out without a whimper like this. [/QUOTE]
