Game #1 Howard Bison

Yeah...being a THURSDAY night game on the first week, no-one will be heading home for the weekend. The REC Center will be closed. More off-campus student apartments are closer to the stadium than ever before. More "commuter" students (those living in apartments) are closer than they ever were before. Bowden indoctrinated the freshman class during the week-of-welcome (the entire freshman class filled up the 1/2 of the lower bowl basically). Student attendance should be rather good. Now Zips, bring us a win so we can keep them.

There also is a grad student offering extra credit to her freshman students whom go to the game and take a selfie at the game. ;) I may or may not have influenced that.

I think it should be a good student turnout. They have been making the freshmen very aware of the game, from what I've heard.

In comparing this to my professional life, just getting people to the point of being "aware" of your existence does not sell what you are selling. Everyone knows that we have a football team, and plenty of student population will be on campus on Thursday night. It will probably be unavoidable not to know that there is a football game.

However, the much bigger question, and the much bigger challenge is.....Are they sold on the idea that being at Infocision Stadium at 7pm tomorrow is a good option for spending a couple of hours of their time? If that's not the case, throwing schedules in their faces accomplishes ZERO.

We'll see. But, I agree that a Thursday night opener during the first week of school is probably the most optimal situation for gaining some additional students.
