1) Columbia is 100 miles from both population centers
2) The state has a number of pro teams to be the lead fanbase (not like Oklahoma, Alabama, Nebraska)
3) Not the historical success of a Tennessee or Georgia or Michigan.

Given the size of our state and the above factors, our attendance isn't really that bad. I remember the days of being excited when 40K showed up.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

that's the opposite of good management - FootballRefugee MU

- 9/21 10:59:45

Poor baby, you're still so mad over last year - MKrip MU - 9/21 12:13:36

allowing it to continue does worse.(nm) - SuperTone MU

- 9/21 10:54:53

It's not continuing. No coincidence that all has been quiet(nm) - Gaseous Clay MU - 9/21 11:11:28
