[QUOTE="Deleted member 643761, post: 1409288"] Part of this is just a population factor. When you have a lower population within a drive of the school, it's going to make it that much tougher to get a large crowd. For someone to get a to a Washington game, literally a million people can get on mass transit to do that. We have millions that have to travel 2-3 hours one way. I'm not trying to make excuses, but the percentage of Illini fans within one hour of the stadium that we need to fill it up is much higher than with many other teams. Bottom line, we know we can get great crowds with exciting winning football. Hopefully we'll get there [/QUOTE]
