Just for grins I looked up the attendance for these MAC mid week games this week.
Not only did Ohio have the best, 16,000, no other game registered over 10,000.

Week to week Ohio has the best home attendance of any of the other MAC teams. The only one that is even close is Toledo.

Watching parts of most MAC games on ESPN family of channels and CBSNN, I would have to agree.

I always wonder if MAC schools could arrange having those fans attending games to sit on the side of the stadium opposite the side where the networks place their cameras. Seems that the view we get on TV is usually showing the side with empty, or nearly empty, seats. Is this doable? Or do the MAC athletic departments even care what the viewers at home are seeing?

I've had this same thought. Many times at these games there are more old farts at the game than students, yet the cameras all seem aimed at the student side. This is understandable because the cameras are on the press box side and the student side seems always to be opposite the press box side.

My wish for attendance and these weeknight games is that the last Saturday of October could be rivalry weekend. Ohio vs them and UT vs BG etc should always be played in front of a weekend audience. Certainly this is workable. Just an idea.

I don't expect any big crowds this Tuesday night being it's election night.
I think the MAC did not take election day into account this year, poor planning.
Additionally, viewership will likely be down as well.

I bring this up to anyone who will listen.

I've even told Schauss at one of the meet-ups and he acted like I told him his zipper was down.

Basketball is the worst. They pack the student section every game, the entire lower bowl is stuffed from end-to-end. Kids are rowdy. Band is going.

Cameras are focused on the empty friends and family seats.

You get an entirely different vibe, just by turning the camera.
