re: Tulane 36 ECU 33 3OT FINAL--TU 5-2 (3-0)

Yep. I heard attendance was terrible and fans keep trying to blame it on the students. Even if 50% of the students turned out which would be beyond average - that is what 5-6k at best. The local fans are the ones that need to get out but Tulane does zero marketing for any sports. People are starting to pay attention and care but when you suck for the majority of decades it takes more than a few more wins than normal to get people to show up to games. I think they could get a solid 25-35K but that will take a few years of consistent success. Hell, TCU is a winner and they have nobody at their games. Smaller schools cannot count on student attendance. In the case of Tulane the new stadium will at least help get more students there because they need 2-3-4-5K of them to start showing up when they win. They are lucky to get more than 25 students there now.
