Nice weather will lead to about 8k.

Poor weather will be about 5-6k.

Ive always wondered why they dont charge a small fee of say $5 to get into this?

Who wouldnt go because ISU demands 100 nickels to watch this? It would turn in to basically $25-35 thousand(depending on turn out).

Also considering the economic harships currently and the amount of season tickets that may be lost, it would at least make up for some of that number.

Sadly, a large percentage of ISU fans.

If some of that money would be used for bathroom usage when tailgating, I am all for it.

You think so? maybe your right, but I just don't see it. Your looking at 2 hours of entertainment for a football starved demographic for 5 bucks. Up that number to 15 or 20 and yeah, i see attendance take a severe hit.

I can't go to a movie for 5 bucks. I cant go have 3 or 4 beers at the neighborhood bar over 2 hour for 5 bucks. Well, they did have PBR cans for a dollar the other night so I take that back.

The only way it could be a little pricey is if you took your wife and 3-4 kids.

People who waste several hours every week trying to avoid spending $4.95/month are not likely to shell out $5 for a spring game.

ISU has never had more than about 5,000 give or take at any spring game. Even during years when I thought the attendance would be super high (Chizik's first year, the first Seneca Wallace spring when everyone was super curious about our new juco QB) we've never had more than about 5,000 or so.

We got two things going for us this year, Everyone's curious to get another look at Bo Williams and of course, the coaching change, but I doubt we go much past 5,000.
