This is how you keep the $$ rolling in and fannies in the seats.
Last years attendance could have been higher if split up HC and family day.
Also,if added another night game.
But,still pretty good.

Re: FB scheduling updates
We go to a lot of the matchups between local teams - pretty much whenever Brown, URI, and Bryant play each other. I follow URI football from afar, basically whatever I read on this board. Don't really have a rooting interest most of the time other than the fact I think it would be really cool if URI had a good football program and was hosting FCS playoff games here in tiny RI.

Re: FB scheduling updates
I just bought season tickets for the 2020 FB SZN. My first year doing so. I’m happy to support the team. Every year I have faith. Maybe this is the year we get into the playoffs.

RJ-if you don't hold season tickets or go to the games COVID-19 or not,the scheduling or not of them shouldn't concern you.
September is a long time away. Somebody else wrote about the irony of posters coming on the board writing about coaches contracts who do not even go to the games. Go buy some season tix and donate them to a local HS FB program if you are so concerned about the well being of football.

My only point was to say that I didn't think fan attendance would be happening due to COVID.Brian Forster wrote: ↑4 years ago I follow URI football from afar, basically whatever I read on this board

I didn't realize a prerequisite for talking about sports on a message board was season ticket purchase or substantial program donations. Darn gonna have to scrub the list of members on message boards world-wide.

Re: FB scheduling updates
Football fans both College and NFL seem to be more optimistic around the country about starting up than Basketball fans for both College and NBA. Odd because Football is played sooner.rjsuperfly66 wrote: ↑4 years agoMy only point was to say that I didn't think fan attendance would be happening due to COVID.Brian Forster wrote: ↑4 years ago I follow URI football from afar, basically whatever I read on this board

I think there will be games for College Football and NFL
The Northern Illinois game might need to be dropped or rescheduled, not sure. It involves air travel.
The beauty of CAA Football is its regional. No planes required. Better for rivalries.
You could do tail-gating throughout campus. FBS schools already do this do to size. You could designate tail-gating on the quad, on the new engineering complex quad, fine arts center parking lot, etc. social distancing is getting more and more the norm and people control it themselves.
You could limit ticket sales to 50% capacity, set up a big screen on the Quad with social distancing.
The way college basketball has gone with these huge geographic distances to cover is nuts. Flying to St Louis, Dayton, Creighton, DePaul, Marquette, VCU, Richmond, Butler, Xavier - all require flights to play a 40 minute game.
Give me the old Yankee Conference and New England rivalries back any day.
The Covid is going to change a lot of thinking down the line.
Look at Boston College - they have extensive airport travel. Their road games are Kansas, Virginia Tech, NC State, FSU, Wake Forest - all flights.
Home games Syracuse, Ohio U, Purdue, Clemson, Louisville, Holy Cross, UNC.
Only 1 game with a Holy Cross with no flying for either team. Airlines and Hotels love these geographically diverse Conferences. I’ll take the close geographic games.

Re: FB scheduling updates
I don't see how the CAA can be considered regional with no planes required. Just looking at our conference away games this year, our games at Elon and Richmond require air travel and Towson and Villanova are regional only in the broadest sense of the term.
Take down the Robert Carothers banner and fix the concession stand lines

Re: FB scheduling updates
Interesting idea for NDSU and Minnesota and/or Oregon to play dye to potential Covid traveling challenges.
NDSU has won nine of 12 games that its played against Football Bowl Subdivision teams, including the last six times it has played up. In addition to the Gophers, NDSU has knocked off Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State and Colorado State during that that streak, which dates back to 2010. The Bison have won seven of the last eight FCS championships.

Re: FB scheduling updates
Congrats on season tickets. I'd love to also. I am hoping for a win over Brown and a winning season. But hey, I'll take a playoff appearance also!URIROTC2006 wrote: ↑4 years ago I just bought season tickets for the 2020 FB SZN. My first year doing so. I’m happy to support the team.

Re: FB scheduling updates
I would ask for a win over Bryant also. I would hate to have to listen to my brother if we lost to them. My wife and I are season ticket holders.

Re: FB scheduling updates
It would be nice if we played UConn more regularly too. I am surprised Bryant is not listed as one of our rivals... I guess they are too new to FCS?
