There were 19,421 in attendance, and for an FCS game, that’s a number that should be admired. However, if the Blue Hens are considering making the jump to FBS, they’ll need to come out and fill the house for all of their opponents, even those such as WCU.
Kind of ironic, coming from a Nova fan.

Nova drew 4,319 for their playoff game with Holy Cross last year and 2,661 to their quarterfinal game with New Hampshire and got a Big East football invite. Your best home attendance, as always, was the Delaware game, with Hens fans coming up to fill your stadium.

There are more people in Big East concourses during games getting hot dogs than there are people at Villanova games.
