Still question the need for more seating in a renovated Timmons after this game being a “sell out”. Plus if students currently don’t show up what’s the point in building more seating for them when the student body grows bigger. Current FU students could care less about sports. The ones that do are in Greeklife but the majority of FU is not associated with a organization.
ETSU @ Furman (Feb. 19th 6pm)
I am the biggest cheerleader for a renovated Timmons but what is the point increasing the seating capacity for them just to go empty during the season
I was told that with the renovation they were going to “downsize the seating capacity” by a reliable source. Does anyone really know the plans here?
In both football and basketball I think the best way to have more fans will be to WIN. But the ceiling seems to be somewhat low with FURMAN being a small school and the two much larger institutions in the state.

No we do not need more seats every game and never will but certainly need more on some games. Just like last Saturday when we could have easily sold another thousand. Playing on Wednesday and Sundays at 6 are both big church nights and are not the best for attendance. Saturday is much better. The SoCon needs to go to Tuesday for weekday games IMHO. A new really nice arena just might entice more people to come, even students.. Right now I am sure people don’t bother because they know they might not get a ticket or if they do it won’t be a good one. It’s all relevant, a new arena means better attendance.FurmanFan23 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 10:29 pmI am the biggest cheerleader for a renovated Timmons but what is the point increasing the seating capacity for them just to go empty during the season

We had a relatively awful run as a program for about 35 years.
Our attendance (students included) has be creeping upwards every season for the past 8 years, its only going to keep growing year in and year out

Gotta love/hate channel 4. Julie spent a minute and 55 seconds on SC women and 31 seconds on FU men. 
You may be right if Elizabeth Davis OR Jason Donnelly said so.FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 11:02 pmapaladin wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 10:59 pmNever heard anyone say it would be less than the current Timmons.
