2011-2012 Weber State highlight video

Post by Wildcat Ryan »

Not the season we Weber fans where hoping for, but an exciting season none the less, a season for the record books.

The only thing wrong with the video is the 9,000 attendance average, it was closer to 7,000 :|

It might not even be a deliberate lie on the part of the video producers. A problem is definitions. Do you go by butts actually in the seats or tickets sold? Many schools use freebies to drum up attendance (not the least of which are player/coach Will Call tix), and there's always the debate about whether or not to count those. While that might not accout for a 2K difference, it COULD be a factor.

SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

There have been times where crowds have appeared bigger or smaller than they actually were, We played UNC in Stewart Stadium when we went into 4 overtimes, and Both sides of Stewart Stadium were packed, and with a Stadium capacity of almost 18,000, both sides of our football stadium have to hold at least 8K each, well our announced attendance for that game was only 7,219. :?:

And then you have a game this last year vs Montana State at home in a blizzard and there is hardly anybody there and the announced attendance was 6,505 :?:
