How was the crowd today?
- Thread starter TOFB4ISU
- Start date
Agree but with the current coaching staff and AD I think the out-reach would be there to really leverage Veishea to bring the crowd to 15-20k.
Tailgating was WAY above average, especially the amount of people I saw drinking (heck yeah!). Think a great many stayed outside the stadium, can't blame them with that weather. Folding chairs were more comfortable yesterday
I can blame them. The program needs their butts inside the stadium to make an impression on recruits and create a momentum for fan following. Cyclones over drinking. Geesh. . . .
Check out the video " Spring Game 2017 #RaiseTheStandard " at cyclonefootball twitter:

Near the end of the video, after Mike Warren's run to the camera, there's a pretty good view of the lower east stands. Crowd looks good (as in numerous).
A crowd photo just came across at isu gallery:

Lots of good stuff from yesterday on that cyclone football twitter site, including video of Kyle S's proposal and the team's reaction.

I, for one, was the member of my group ushering folks out of the lots in order to catch the first of the action. I'm in reference to the students that would normally be in their respective lot. If you want to ask intoxicated minors looking for a mate to go into the game instead, be my guest.
I should say I'm with you on this point though for the general public. Couple good years should only increase spring game attendance.
Although it read like it, I was not pointing a finger at you, sorry that you might have thought so. I was criticizing those who did not go inside . . . although that is their decision, of course, not mine.
Given a vote, I would choose to close the gates at halftime in the fall, not allow spectators to come back in once outside the fence.

I can see that based upon the fact that I do want as many rears in seats as possible. That being said, our tailgating masses are part of what makes being a cyclone great. Multiple opposing fans have shared this sentiment with me and add that we stack up well or better than most other venues in the league. So I don't want to put a damper on any of it. I think then, the stadium would be emptier in second halves.
