Stampede...

I heard that the Stampede had 900 people at the game against Reading. Thats not good. In week 3 of the season and a number of games have had attendence figures of 1500 or less with some under 1000. Thats bad news.

It was a Monday night game. People work. There will be more on the game for the 25th since it's a Saturday. We went from 4500 tp 900 because of the day, not because people hate the team.

Give the team a couple more games, and people will start hating them. A 3600 fan drop off cant have the excuse put on it, that it was a Monday night. Thats just a line of crap. Heres what some local people think of the Stampede. http://www.jjhuddle.com/discus/messages/361580/431154.php

Where'd you hear 900? I was there, I guessed about 1,500. Most were concentrated on the 'home side' which alone seats about 1,400 and was about half full with about 300 to each endzone and about 200 on the far 'away' sideline.

It was a Monday, there were few kids, and sadly not a lot of promotion, especially with the Junior High State Wrestling tournament held on Fri-Sun at the arena.

Oh wow, 10 people on the huddle. I'm REAL impressed. Listen, I was involved with the Steel Valley Smash (now the OV Greyhouynds) and they lost their first 9 games I believe before they won. The franchise is still around and doing fine. So why not cut the negativity and start being positive for a change? Oh, that wouldn't be as much fun huh?
