  • Do home football games help your home hockey attendance?

    I have hear both positives and negatives on whether home football games on Saturday afternoons help or hurt hockey game attendance on Saturday night? Or is there no correlation?

    Re: Do home football games help your home hockey attendance?

    If the football game is on a saturday night, they kill saturday night attendance for minnesota...

    If the football game is early I don't really notice a difference.

      NU hockey outdraws NU football so it's likely a terrible judge. Homecoming is always done on a hockey home weekend and that I guess smally helps with football...

        They don't schedule home games for both MN football/hockey on the same day I thought (see: UAA series in hockey).

        But except for that fact, I think it's two different crowds that are big enough to support both, given the size of the school.

                haha, no worries. Mine is faulty most of the time. I'll probably make an *** of myself at least two or three times between here and gpl.

                  My mind is on NFL on Sundays, and there are very few things that would distract me (hell, a woman who's a "5" wouldn't distract me, and this is ME we're talking about).

                  So, in short, I'm off today.

                    When football, basketball, and hockey are all at home the same weekend, the overlap in parking keeps them from being able to give football its own day.

                      That is why they schedule the way they do.

                      But either way, MN football plays at home? Guess they don't consider BSU to be a strong draw (I'd think it'd be better than MSU-M, UAA, the CO schools, etc,).

                        Football is hosting SDSU. I'd make a joke about it being a powerhouse weekend if Bemidji weren't better than the Gophers right now (which is plenty funny on its own).

                          And I bet SDSU is favored.

                            Football? Clarkson doesn't have that sport.

                            However, as a season ticket holder at Army, I can tell you that home football has absolutely no attendance effect on hockey, despite the fact that the venues are practically connected.

                              At Miami, a Saturday afternoon football game on the same day as a home ice hockey game simply means that, instead of attending the football game, the students will be down at the Goggin Ice Center standing in line.
                              Love and honor to Miami forever and a day. Go RedHawks!
