Attendance in college football up, Props to Montana and Montana State

[HookedonGriz]

So let me see if I follow......So you admit that with less "kids" at Montana there is more interest in Griz football than Scat football? I mean even Bozeman State's all time attendance record is less than an AVERAGE Griz game......Well done Sir, you really got us..... :clap:

Yes...A stadium with more seats (and winning for 20+ years) will do that.

I think STATE would get more if they could slap some paint on those eastside grandstands. Maybe even move the porta poties under the seating?

We average a sell-out...so just paint won't do it. I think MONTANA STATE should do something about the east side stands ASAP though. My guess is we see an indoor practice facility first.

Been to plenty of Cats games. Maybe tickets are "sold out" but the stadium is never full. Ever. Large openings in that sonny Holland area behind and around a students at every single one I've been to

Every game...

WOW. Pretty impressive that you guys can get that many people in the stands considering only about 300 kids go to UM now days.

Keep dreaming and maybe one day.....nah probably not.

What am I suppose to dream about?

How 'bout finally landing that 20+ inch brown trout lurking in the shit pond?

Come on Cats jump over #5 NDSU; so you can say that you have beat them in something? Come on EWU every single Div-II out-paced your attendance and just about every D-III; you almost went to the title game last fall! :lol: :lol:

Build a real Bball arena and use the field house; it's big enough. Football practice could compete with rodeo.

Both universities report attendance as tickets sold, not butts in seats. The same is the case at UM - games with attendance exceeding capacity and visible empty seats - season ticket holder no-shows.

Some time mid may I believe. My guess it

1) New East Side stands
2) Indoor practice facility/ Sports Offices/ Weight room

NCAA just gave us money for a Nutrition Center, so that will now not be part of the plan.

What's the over/under on the cat's east side stands collapsing before the ewu's visitor side stands?

Serious question.

I believe the next campaign at msu is to raise money for a replacement for their ridiculous pregame blowup helmet the team doesn't first have to walk in the mouth, then get hacked up and out of the mouth like a hairball, but instead would be able to enter via the rear, like is done at the junior high level.

Nope. My seats are on West side.

Nope. That is not in the plans.

Well, understandable. It is a large ask.
