[QUOTE="doho19, post: 1242205, member: 4846"] This is a good move... People aren't coming no matter what... 2013 in CU vs NU 37,058 (Illini finish 4-8) 2014 in CU vs PSU (weekend before Tgiving) 35,172 (Illini finish 6-7) 2015 SF vs NU 33,514 (Illini finish 5-7) It's wins and perception of the program and its direction that will drive attendance anywhere. So if all things are equal why were we giving NU essentially another home game? I was at all these games, its all miserable... WIN... and people come. And then a great idea like Drew mentioned... you now have a year, work with your peers in Housing, get the dorms open on Saturday. Also like Dan said, start working on ideas to fill the NEZ. Even if you can't get those things done, the numbers still tell you that odds are you are going to get 30-35,000 so it should be our home game and only our home game. [/QUOTE]
