“Just win, baby.”

That’s how you fill those seats. I remember going to the games before people realized the talent of the CC and TP teams. Maybe 300 people in the seats. MAYBE. By the end of the year they were pushing 2k-2.5k every game with a couple 4K+.

Yup...and this was with some of the more low-scoring Molinari teams (that were effective, but generally somewhat "less exciting" than a strong offensive team): http://static.goleathernecks.com/custom ... amcume.htm
In 12/13, we started out the season averaging maybe ~1500 at home games (this was coming off a winning season where we played in the...I think CBI against Oregon State, if I remember correctly). We had over 4k against South Dakota State in mid-January and broke 5K against South Dakota for the final home game before the conference tournament.
