It's a crappy tactic that increases the chance for injuries, even if it's done in the name of home-field advantage. yes, Larry was at Marquette at the time..... However, it was about 0 to 5 above at game time.....nature took care of the field no behind the scenes field doctoring from Larry's friends at Marquette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We're going to make it look like thousands of people will be there, because we're begging you to come and support us". They only drew 200 for their final home game this year, and only 500 yesterday. WMU drew a record crowd (1500+) when the ZIps visited earlier this season. Having been there, the crowd looked sizable, but since they don''t sell tickets to regular season matches, and do not have turnstiles, I don't know how they count or how accurate their count could be, If the weather is as crappy as it is predicted to be, I do not foresee a large number of fans sitting out in that weather when they can watch at home on ESPN3.

They show 1,200 for that Akron game. But still, that does seem to be an indication that they will draw crowds much larger than normal for the Zips. I wonder how many of those 1,200 people were Zips fans? Do you recall how many others were there? This actually sounds like an opportunity to get our fans up there and outnumber them. But, not many will make that trip in those weather conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as far as SIU-E or NIU, but not as close BUGS or WVU. It makes for a long day. Edited November 11, 2017 by Zip_ME87 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, perhaps the record crowds were when they played UM & MSU. That makes sense given the proximity. MSU is just up the road, and they don't have lights either.

They only got 200 and 500 the last two games, and they are ranked and playing for a MAC title. I bet it's one of those cases where the Michigan people show up to see the Spartans and Wolverines.

fknbuflobo Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 On the bright side, Wake Forest/Virginia on ESPNU and Indiana/Wisconsin on BiGN. Both are conference finals. Come to think of it, that is not really on the bright side. How is the MAC Final so disrespected? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
