here's a question. over the past few years we've talked about
attendance (usually in the context of making a
conference/division jump).
now we have the victories that we all agreed were requisite
before filling the stands. what impact has this then had on
attendance???
total home 47356
over 6 games =
7892 avg home attendance
which is pretty good i think, considering some of the opponents,
weather, etc. Of course, the 12k homecoming weights it a bit
but whatever. now let's set a new goal and get in the high 9s
next year.
GO SB

Attendance is increasing, no doubt!
We have a long way to go to achieve the goal of consistently
selling out LaValle Stadium. But 2017 had the highest attendance
average ever of 7,892 which is a great sign surpassing the 2015
season (avg. 7,268). It is significantly higher than Big South
era attendance which was in the low 5ks. If we can make our
student community as responsive as the local community the
stadium would be selling just about every Saturday. Obviously,
it has proved to be a huge challenge to draw the Stony Brook
student community to the games. We need some serious reforms and
marketing effort from our athletic department and the school to
motivate student attendance. Student attendance was basically
non-existent for the entire year except for the obligated
marching band.

maybe we could at least recognize the Women's VB team and
Women's soccer team and others. That would put about another 150
or so parents and players in the stands- then we only need about
6K more.

Smart man. That's a start. lol. Recognize all of our teams and
even the local HS teams. Anyone!!!! If that's what's gonna take
to get buts on the bleachers, lets do it!

I find these numbers unbelievable since the stadium seems
emptier than when I was a student a few years ago. Community
support is up, but student support is down from the looks of it.
I remember packed student sections in from 2011-2013. I don't
see that anymore. It wasn't anywhere close to what it was in the
Big South days at homecoming. I'm talking strictly student
support here.

Exactly!! That's the number one thing that will hold our
football program back. Fortunately, I think it's one of the
easiest to fix. It's a bit late for it to matter this year, but
by winning 9 games, we'll build hype and student interest
heading into next year. I expect student support and attendance
to be WAY up next year. Current students weren't around for the
2011-12 playoff runs so they don't know what it's like to cheer
for a competitive team. They'll get that opportunity next year
an I'm eagerly looking forward to filling in that added capacity
in 2018. Hype will be even greater if we can beat Lehigh, then
upset JMU in a couple weeks. A deep playoff run by this program
will instantly start FBS buzz. Everything else about SBU is
desirable, it's just the fan support for football specifically
that's been lagging.

NYStateofmind...
You are a hypocrite... you also have a son on the field & you
were bashing the play calling also in the stands & there were
many others that heard you & even your family stated their
dislike to the play calling.....
SBU line did not block well in the running game & Maine
strength is stopping the run; coach elect not to use additional
player on the line why. When you continue to do the same thing
again & again n get the same negative results thats..
insanity... you make the adjustments.
You also have selective hearing; I never stated or pointed out
one player & i stated a position TE & why we did we not use our
TE more in the blocking & in the short passing game against
Maine. using a 2 TE set give you the option of blocking or
getting the short pass off the line... Maine was effective when
they did this against us in the game.
We had Dennis #89 in the game for 1 play, we used Connor #88
maybe 7 plays; this team blocks better & we move the ball more
consistently when they utilize 2 TE set... especially off the
edge.
Sending Ray across the middle after a concussion the previous
week WOW; SBU have big bodies that can catch & we don't use
them well 1 am tired of accusations of weaknesses in certain
player it's a bunch of BS from individuals that are clueless. If
you do not get reps in practice & use these players then don't
ask for perfection.
N you to state which you did Saturday.... he thinks he know
football but never played.... WOW. !% of the population makes to
a D! program & you will find many coaches in the NFL & in NCAA
that never played 1 down at the D! level.
And yes we all know you played & we don't know what we are
talking about; doesn't half to be brought up again to us.
Now if you want to... GROW A PAIR.. instead of chatting n
stating FALSE CLAiMS about others online; i would love to talk
w ya at pre game.

Nope. CLEARLY you have any idea of who our son is- and if you
think so, please provide our son's name or number.
See the difference with some of us who played is we don't have
to run around shouting and causing a disruption in the stands.It
is just not something we do, because of the respect we have for
the game, the players and the coaches.
When I post (like others here) its to provide an "opinion" or
context. I sent this post out because IMHO, you violated this
most basic rule of the sport- which you don't see. Too Bad.
In all the years here, have never seen such disrespect from
someone who is the Father of a player at the college level. I
normally see this in pop Warner Leagues with Mommy and Daddy
hollering every moment of the game while sipping on their $6.00
Latte from their folding chairs.
I knew you would not apologize and stated so. As to who coaches
in the NFL etc... what bearing does that have on this thread?
As to "growing a pair" as an Army Ranger, that is something I
don't need to do. I am sure you know all about war, so am sure
you'll be providing all the aspects as to how to defeat any of
our enemies shouting from a far away secure place, while the
battle is going on.

I like the good vibes go SB but even tho this a weaker team that
you play on Saturday you still have to make a statement. when
you look at SB they can compete with any of these teams out
there but coaches i will say it again and again you have to come
up with a great game plan understand if we can get the offence
rolling that defense that calls themselves. The legion of wolf's
will clean up the rest
