What does Iowa State do to keep fans in the stands the rest of the way?

[Erik4Cy]

Great attendance today that impressed me (I know the tickets we're sold out but still some empty seats), only the top level student section disappointed. Despite a team that was 1-5 and coming off a 63 point loss in Waco. We've got two more home games over the next 4 weeks that promise to be cold games and not big names in TCU and KU. Quite simply, what do we do to keep fans coming?

Stop playing unwatchable football on offense and defense.

 

[awd4cy]

They can start by getting a win.

 

[Wesley]

Hula girls pre game and free hot toddies outside each gate and insignia warmer blankets and motorcycle giveaways for fans present.

 

[CycloneNorth]

People will still come for the tailgating. As long as it doesn't get very cold we should be fine.

We could lose the rest of our games this season and still get 50,000 for every home game next year.

You may be right as long as we manage to play respectable ball here on out, but I don't think Pollard will take this for granted. Honestly, I am 99% certain that Mess will be gone because if Rhoads himself doesn't pull the trigger, I think Pollard will force this change and dig into the pocketbook to hire an OC that has a little bit of buzz. If Pollard is willing to pull the trigger on Mac I have no doubt that cutting an unsuccessful DIII and JUCO coach loose will be nothing to him.

Handies and free pizza.

Handies and free pizza.

Pizza is what came to my mind first, but handies....

 

[awd4cy]

Handies and free pizza.

Who is giving them?

 

[Agclone91]

Unfortunately, I think our sold out streak will end next game.

It *is* and Olympic sport after all, right?

 

[isufan]

A new offensive coordinator will bring people to JTS next year.

As for this year, everyone is completely fed up with the compete mess that has become our offense. If its really cold for either of the last two and we still only have one win, expect to see well less than 50,000 butts in the seats.

 

[awd4cy]

Honestly I was surprised how full it was at the start of the game. More showed up today than for the Texas game.

 

[Wilson]

Let the students play batman mafia on the field at half time.

 

[jdoggivjc]

Win out.

 

[Wilson]

Handies and free pizza.

I'd rather get the handies for free and pay for the pizza.
