2R - SE Louisiana @ #6 Montana

[Chizzang]

One sad thing about this game is we had less than 17000 people in attendance.

Yeah, a Thanksgiving crowd for a non-Thanksgiving game.

It's pretty clear the recent attendance decline phenomenon at WaGriz is not really W/L related.

I read that the ticket price average is at $25.50
then pay $10 for beer



Student section and General admission and crap seats should be $5.00 all day every day
I can go to a professional baseball game for $10 to $15
I went and saw the Twins for less than it would cost me to go see the Griz

Yeah, I think they milked these prices as long as they can. I'd be shocked if there wasn't a drop for next year.

I disagree. There are other factors but winning definitely puts more fans in the seats.

1. Three years of no playoffs have people 'out of practice' planning for a December drive to Missoula.
2. The smack down two weeks prior by Bozeman State Univ. left people wondering who these Griz are.

I was one of the 16,500 in the stadium. I drove over from Billings. Although there were 9,000 empty seats we were DAMN LOUD. I thought the crowd was pumped and as loud as many regular season games. Granted another 9,000 would be better but sell outs never happen in the playoffs.

Let's see what happens if Montana is back to being a perpetual contender. My guess is the attendance rebounds.

Though I do agree they have priced tickets higher than they should. They need to adjust for lower demand. The SLA tickets were $35 plus cc fee, not $25.
