Wow, not seeing those as impressive numbers. Just shy of 1,500 at the Hop-Cuse wlaxers game which was played outside at the soccer fields (due to graduation in the Dome), don't think the place holds any/much more than that.

Hens game, I saw where that was the largest turnout ever for a Hen game,
1600 at State College for a lacrosse game is a good turnout.

I think a lot of it, more so for weekend day games, is the volume of club lacrosse commitments. So many likely attendees have games or practices. I would think a Thursday night game for example , opens the door for many more young people and parents to attend than a Saturday 230pm game. Obviously that is not what the NCAA would move to but as a father of 5 I can say we could make a lot more of those than a weekend day game.

That @Duke number was bolstered by a strong showing of Hens fans.

The TV numbers must be decent because those numbers are terrible.
I'll refrain from stories from the 70's at NMC and Byrd.

Remember, we only had 8 teams back in the '70's, so the comparison would be to next weekend.

That said, I'd be surprised if #'s next weekend approach that era.

Seems like Weems-Whalen had those numbers crammed in for St Mary's games lol

Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Any thoughts as to the split between UMich and Cornell fans at Schoellllkopf?

Great numbers...

Some sites were impacted by severe storms so that had a major effect on attendance.

We've covered the Hopkins stuff in the forum. It's a combination of not having a rabil/harrison superstar player draw, the programs long walk in the wilderness, blue jays unlimited-the athletic departments booster organization's insularity, and a changed student body unaccustomed to supporting the program and seeing it win. Embarrassing nonetheless.

I tell you what, the Cornell Game felt like way more than 2625 to me. Last home game against Princeton was listed as 2500, Michigan game felt like 50% more than that, not 5% more.

Thank goodness Hens fan base travelled or else that number might have been in the teens!

Close but Naah……thanks to Delaware for the showing. Just wish they could have pulled it out. The number of Duke player’s parents and girlfriends would run about 50 so that would be a typical spectator number. The regular student body has never even heard of the sport of lacrosse so there’s that

Michigan had a modest yet enthusiastic reserved section. It was overwhelmingly red.

Looked like more than that too, was a nice crowd.

Question for those in the know:
Does one ticket get you both games at Albany? Says that stadium holds 8,500, I wouldn't be surprised to see that one sold out (projected 76 degrees and sunny).

I’ll agree with that.
