We first have to admit there hasn't been much for fans and students to get excited about in a while so we have to be patient (and positive). Best thing is to come up with some good ideas and suggetions for the administration to consider.
1). Improve the entertainment factor...improve the PA system and play more current music between plays the students like (other than rap!).
2). Somehow utilize the other side of the filed for younger kids to to hang out and play (IU has utilized one end of their stadium for kids to play and throw balls, etc.)
3). invite and recognize HS, MS, youth football programs, YMCA's/Boys & Girls Club, etc. the kids come their parents will attend too
4). Organze some kind of bus shuttle from campus to get frats, sororities and others to attend.
5). I know this doesn"t sound like much, but the lighting is terrible and makes the environment seem very gloomy...even depresses me!

Add to the list and maybe we can get some things over time-

PS need to keep winning and/or playing well too!

Finally a thread about attendance that makes sense... Thank you for helping solve the problem. We have a lot of problem identifiers and not very many problem solvers. Congratulations you did both and very well I might add.

There has to be more promotion on campus, more excitement by word of mouth. After the homecoming game I had a student at the Copper Bar ask me how they did (I had a Sycamore football shirt on) and I told him the score. He was excited about how good they are this year. Next step is for that excitement to translate to going to games.

Jason- looks like you attempted this already and we're on the same page! Sorry, I'm relatively new to this site and wasn't aware of your prior efforts. Maybe since the program is making progress we might have a little more leverage. Would love to get together sometime, develop an organized plan and strategy and schedule a time to meet with Ron and/or others that would be interested. I think they would appreciate our help and involvement-

No worries... just want to show some of the stuff we came up with in the past.
