Game 1 - Niagara


Recommended Posts

I'd love to see replay of the well-deserved team celebration for Gyuwon's goal! Great seeing the immediate reaction of our players in the video above.

I don't have any easy answers .....on how to improve attendance at Men's soccer games....

 

Here are some numbers....that might prompt discussion.

Does anyone have any good suggestions?   Obviously, having a fantastic , unbeatable team is the best way to get butts in the stands.

 

Before I present the numbers, I want to point out that the 2018 team was #2 in pre season rankings.  I also have listed the day of the week when

games were played as I thought that high school football might have an impact on attendance.

 

   Akron Zips Home attendance for season opening soccer games

 

2018   2,579 on a Friday night

2019   1,630 on a Friday night

2020    covid

2021    1,580  on a Thursday night

2022   1,488   on a Monday night

2023   1,174     on a Thursday night

 

1,405 person drop in attendance from opening game 2018 to opening game 2023

The 2023 opener was at the same exact time as the annual Welcome Back Bingo event for students. This event is huge every year, it sucks that they don't look at the soccer schedule when scheduling these events. Obviously, this only effects students, but there weren't as many students present at the Niagara game as normal for the early season games. Monday I imagine will draw more.
