Harry Plumer of MassLive has an article on the possible turnout for the first game.

My feelings on turnout. Just like the football program, it's going to take time to build the gate at Gillette. 80% of "fans' go to the game to see you win, not play the game.

Since wins will probably be scarce the first couple of years, so will the enthusiasm. The bandwagon people will be showing up once we start winning.

Home attendance last week for the MAC
  1.  Central Michigan--15, 250
  2. Kent State--15, 121
  3. Ball State--12, 725
  4. Akron--12, 616
Will we lead the MAC in home attendance after one home game?
