so the recent post about selling out LaValle for 2015:
HTML http://brook.lan
d/2015/06/inside-the-mission-to-sell-out-every-home-game/
what was our final count? 6 times 8210 (ignoring standing room,
which is really only for Homecoming) is 50,000.
our final count is... 43,607 (avg 7300 or 89% full). id say
those #s are good.
however, id like to hear thoughts on whether those #s are
artificially inflated (purchased tickets but no show) or perhaps
the #s are skewed by Homecoming attendance. the stands rarely
look 90% full.
take out towson (12,177) and you've got 31,500. divided by 5 is
6,300 and we are more like 77% full. not awful, but not a great
case for expansion.

Unfortunately, I don't think we were even close the announced
attendance of 7158 yesterday.

I think it will be quite awhile before we sell out for
every game. Our best bet is between 6k and 7k which would be
great. Expanding the stadium I guess will happen but not too
soon, 20k or 21k is a lot to fill every week . We cant even
sell out our arena fro basketball and that's only 4k .

The numbers were inflated yesterday because of the free tickets
given out to all hoops season-ticket holders.
I can't honestly imagine there were more than ~5k yesterday.
Student section was virtually empty, too, which is a shame.

on the golden apple:

d/2015/11/what-is-the-golden-apple-a-primer/
[quote]Since then, both teams have won at home, but neither has
done a particularly good job of making the most of what could
eventually turn into one of the most exciting weekends of the
college football season.
It has been a failure on many levels. Stony Brook tried to hype
the rivalry in year one, opening up a contest to “name the game”
before settling on the Empire Clash. In year two, Albany was
cursed with lousy weather, which kept the crowds small.
The idea that a $50 trophy could completely change the demeanor
of a college football game may seem preposterous, and that’s
because it is. Nevertheless, the introduction of the Golden
Apple this year gives both programs something tangible to play
for. If handled properly, the trophy will be imbued with a sense
of purpose and significance by both schools, a physical
manifestation of bragging rights. Even when the season is lost,
ensuring the trophy remains on campus — or returns to it, as
these things go — should be a central focus of each team. During
the off-season, it should be on display prominently in either
school’s basketball arena for all to see. Having the Golden
Apple in your possession must be of the utmost importance to
incoming freshmen and graduating seniors alike.[/quote]

heilbron launched "together we transform thursday". a weekly

[quote]I am often asked about the progress of our fundraising
initiatives so wanted to provide an update. The highest priority
for our department is to raise $5,000,000 in order to match the
lead gift provided by Glenn and Eva Dubin for the construction
of a new Indoor Training Center. To date, we have received more
than $200,000 in cash and commitments toward the match. While
there is always a sense of urgency with any fundraising
initiative, it is important to note that since we announced the
Dubin Challenge in October, our staff has spent the past months
educating our supporters about the importance of this project. I
encourage everyone to be a part of this project by making a
contribution at

/>It is true that every gift matters so I am exceedingly gratefu
l
for your support!
