Stadiums that don't fill up

[get'em_griz]

Continuing with the discussion from another thread about stadium attendance problems, I thought this might be a good thread to display some stadiums that don't fill up.

Alabama State Hornets
Stadium: The New ASU Stadium
Conference: SWAC
Capacity: 26,500
Opened: November 22, 2012 (Record Attendance set at 29,500)

Nov. 22, 2012 vs Tuskegee - 29,500
Aug. 31, 2013 vs Jacksonville St. - N/A
Sept. 21, 2013 vs Grambling St. - 11,751
Sept. 28, 2013 vs Alcorn St. - 12,503

Right you are. What odd numbers. Anyone know what the scoop is? Must be social media/facebook thing.

Not sure about the Prairy view game but the A&M game is always played in Birmingham and last year drew over 60,000 people.

In the SWAC, it's all about the marching bands!

That and the Bar B Q outside the stadium. Lots of times Alabama A&M will have more people outside then inside the stadium.

Apparently, add Bobcat Stadium to the list. From the 'marketing' thread:
"The fact that MSU is still promoting season football ticket sales in June, 11 weeks before the start of the season, sends a message about the interest level in Bobcat athletics --- and it isn't good"

or that having season ticket sale commercials in June might actually help attendance. What is the trend for MSU ? Is attendance going up or down? Did the commercial in June of 2013 hurt or help season ticket sales compared to 2012?

Bozeman St. market strategy is to market their season tickets when the weather is nice, so they can get more fair weather fans to the game..

Wow. How the heck do you get nearly 30,000 people one game and barely 1,000 for another?
I always thought people in that part of the country loved the game more than life, not the social scene.
