Re: RPI Hockey 2019 - 2020: Nordic Combined
And I quote a older person who was sitting behind me in the Section 9 last night: "This isn't the Field House I knew." Says it all about where the program is. I have missed maybe 3 home games in the past 10-15 years and I can say without a doubt, that the past few weekends have been deader than a doornail. Only thing that saves it from a full on funeral type feel is the pep band which is shrinking week by week it seems as well. Glad to see some of the students trying to be more active in coming to games (Red Army or whatever it is called) but to see them sitting on their hands all night last night only to come "alive" for the taco minute and when RPI pulled the goalie is kinda sad. Do some research on how the bigger fan bases keep involved in the entire game and try to implement some of that. I get it that winning brings fans in but even during the lean years with AspyDads hero OGC Seth Appert, the place was filled above the 1500-2000 range.
Ok rant over, glad to see a comeback win last night after 59:58 of some pretty rough hockey to watch.
