JMU seats 8500 and had 3540 in attendance. I've heard the game at the cam get as loud or louder this year no matter what anyone says. Matter of fact it's been very loud. I wish people would quit disparaging our fans and try to make it seem like the grass is greener. Here are attendance numbers for Saturday.
Marshall. 4672
Louisiana 3306
Troy. 2972
G South. 1472
S Alabama. 1812
ULMonroe. 1984
Agree overall figures aren't impressive, bust. So, I guess we can have some pride that we the best among the"worst". After all, SBC basketball isn't exactly the talk of the major college basketball world so far this season. Believe NO SBC team has managed to garner even ONE Vote in any significant basketball poll to date. One other factor I think may be affecting attendance at some schools presently is that, like MU, many/most of them probably don't start their Spring semesters until tomorrow, or even later. Hence, many students are NOT on campus. Hopefully, attendance figures will see an uptick as the conference race heats up and we get closer to tournament time. Just my 2 cents on the topic.
