With 2000 cleverly disguised as empty seats.
Ha! Which building would that be?
Complete bull. I'll give credit the football team was there in mass. Got there before tipoff and there until the end. It was academic recognition night many of the athletes came walked out on the floor and left. Without them I'm guessing 20 other students.
Two struggling teams playing a bad basketball game.
Cayo looked like he's shut down, Wojick's legs are dead. Andre played pretty well. Could be the last home win I see for awhile.
credit to the giridirion brothers -- looked like they has a lot of fun tonight
I am looking for a nice bounce back year for football. I think Huesman is going to have a nice run. Good comraderie.
On a lacrosse anouncement it says seats are $10- no freebies for upcoming matches.
BB tickets are $5(Cedarfield) or free for kids club
What does that say about our "flagship" sport?

At least get the facts right. There are 2 $10 lacrosse games this year. Both are games against lacrosse powerhouses (ACC teams). All Southern Conference games are free like they have been since lacrosse started at UR.
Updates with last 2 home games added in and 2 home games remaining.
The average currently (5,547) stands down about 14.5% from last year's end of year number (6,491).
Longwood - 6,717
St. Francis - 6,851
IUPUI - 5,015
Hampton - 4,475
Wake Forest - 6,076
Coppin State - 4,220
Oral Roberts - 5,107
ODU - 5,617
URI - 5,006
Duquesne - 4,603
St. Bonaventure - 6,503
La Salle - 6,644
Goo Mu - 4,769
GW - 6,601
Fordham - 5,001

The AD should be ashamed to post that number. You can watch their own highlight video and discern easily that it's a lie.
My favorite is - St. Francis - 6,851.
11 am game on a Wednesday afternoon, our largest crowd of the season?
Its probably safe to assume we have about 3,000 - 4,000 season tickets that are always accounted for in the count, no matter what.
I still can't tell if they are announcing attendance/gate as opposed to tickets sold. I don't know how anyone could think we had 5000 at the Fordham game, unless the student-athletes were not in seats and really bumped the number.
I do think a lot of people were at the SFU game. Those middle school kids fill the seats.

Got another Spider Club "Last Chance" (thru Friday) email about buying vcu tickets. I thought the last chance was about 3 weeks ago. That's what my prior email said. Would have expected with the events of the last week this would have been sold out by now.
My wife was there (I wasn't). She said that the kids brought their lunches with them, so they must have waived the no outside food rule for that game. I'm sure we lost money on that game, since all of those kids probably paid zero for the ticket (only for the bus trip).
Oh it wasn’t a moneymaker, just saying there were a ton of people (kids) in seats.
This is really REALLY definitely maybe most likely and possibly your last chance to buy tickets to this game. Unless they don't sell them all today. Then tomorrow will certainly for sure be the only last time you might possibly be able to get some.
The fact that they still can't sell VCU tickets to alums after all these attempts sums up the state of the program perfectly.
Also, when it's clear you aren't getting enough bites from alums and want to keep VCU fans out, maybe drop the ticket prices from $50 a pop? Despite my relentless pessimism, I may have been willing to buy a pair for half that and decide whether to go or not later, just to keep VCU people out. But I'm not gonna pay $100 for two seats to a potential laugher. I guess they are reluctant to drop prices given how much revenue they've lost with down attendance.

This is the strongest statement about the state of the Spider program. I definitely know the feeling, but I am still going to go and gut it out. There is nothing worse than a place with more crowd support for the visiting team.
The seats around me have been mostly empty all year and I fully expect them to be occupied by people wearing gold and black.
I guess it is a good thing that Grant Golden like to compete in hostile environments.
Until they stop doing things that makes them the subject of criticism, it's going to continue. They're not above criticism at this point. Hokie fans criticize Buzz all the time, and they're ranked! No team in D1 is above criticism.
