A new and better FBS thread

In my experience, the Wyoming fans travel really well.

CSU not so much

Boise sends lots of fans

However, since most MW football games are at night and on tv it does depress road attendance considerably. It hurts home attendance as well.

On the other hand..There are a number of fun places to visit for your fans. It is tough to beat watching a game in Honolulu. San Diego has delightful weather year round. Vegas, baby!

Would Boise, Colorado State, Wyoming, etc. bring more fans than the current 200? that most Valley teams bring? I would think so, but not sure how much.

To Chapo's point, in FCS there is a major, major inflow/outflow deficit when it comes to NDSU and our fan base...

I think there is enough articles/podcasts/etc. out there that would increase the intrigue for those fan bases to check out the gameday atmosphere in Fargo at least once. Could get a nice little boost in attendance, at least for the first couple of years.

Your national championship game should be a huge national draw, but I don't think it is, partly because ESPN seems to broadcast it out of obligation with almost no promotion in the preceding week. I love watching weeknight MAC-tion games.

Why should the FCS national title be a huge national draw?

I cant think of a single reason. I watch. But why would my buddy who went to Penn State watch? How bout my friend who went to NYU?

Man the internet is awesome sometimes. This is like a massive train wreck I can't ignore.

There are pockets of people who watch with no connection to any team. Coaches from all levels will watch all the championship games because they may have athletes they recruited playing in the game. Most officials I know watch all the championship games. A friend whose son plays for for Indiana State watched. A friend whose son played for IU and now Eastern Kentucky (and was offered as a transfer by NDSU) watched. So there are some pockets. But unless you have something like Deion leading Jackson State to the final and they put it on ESPN or ABC you won't have a huge national following.

I watch all types of football games that I have no connection to.
