Those figures were distorted. We played A&T at home, and technically were the home team for the Circle City that year.
The ONLY thing that will keep our fans is Hayes's marketing and promotion acumen. "Winning is Sexy," may be true, but our folks have shown the capability of disappearing no matter the record. A LOT of blame can be cast about that situation.
Actually OSR, that year we played A&T and Central at home (both sellouts). Homecoming made the third big game. I would think that a Neutral site game would not be counted in a school's true home attendance.
Nothing can be further from the truth when it comes to the fair weatherness of our fans though.
