The announced HC crowd was 4,011, thus further assuring Samford's embarrassing strong hold on LAST place in SoCon attendance. Something is wrong here in the numbers. When I approached two SU Athletics Officials(Martin was not one of them), about this issue, one told me that comps, recruits tickets, and player pass lists are NOT counted. We may be the only school in the country where none of those are counted. The other official actually seemed irritated that I would even bring up this issue. Hey, weren't the so called "sell outs" this spring boldly bragged about? Go back just 5 years ago. and the HC crowd was listed at 8,379. Now, do I believe that there were that many folks at Seibert? No, but just as unbelievably to me was that 4,011 number. IF our stadium actually has 6,700 seats, then there was more than 5,000 folks in attendance yesterday. That 5,000 number is just under 75% of our capacity. In another related gripe, I address the student and cheerleader placement that is absolutely mind blowing to me because, IMO, it makes no sense. There was a reserved section for students that was packed out, and others wanting in there that had to find other spaces. The cheerleaders stayed in the north end zone in front of a tiny tiny handful of students and sent zero to cheer in front of the packed student section. Not great for raising crowd enthusiasm!! Old grumpy man or concerning issues that should at least be studied? ?

Something is wrong here in the numbers. 1 - Previous numbers inflated to justify need to ask for money to upgrade stadium. 2 - Maybe the Athletic Department is positioning themselves to justify no need for further upgrade/expansion of the stadium? Since no one has come forward to pay for all the other concept drawings and we are only having <50% occupancy, maybe the idea is nothing is said, then the drawings can be filed away. Out of sight, out of mind. 3 - There is a realization no one wants to watch football in its current form at LakeShoreUniversity.
