so, unless women get to finals (or semi), there’s no overlap. That’s unfortunate- I know some of our fans in the past did double duty in Henderson.

Weber State’s stadium is really nice. I didn’t have any time to explore the area. St George has the advantage of a great location if you want to explore all the national and state parks. But, as someone mentioned, stadium and game experience is lousy.

dang….must have read a dated article!

i'm not sure about the media payouts, but the MWC has traditionally sent more than 1 team to the NCAA basketball tournament. all schools share equally. last year, they sent 6 so a payout of roughly $12M compared to the BWC's $2M. of course, with the schools that have left, they won't get 6 next season!

my expectations for England-Argentina were pretty low after the first 10 minutes of overly-physical play, but once that got out of the way it was an epic game. Especially the second half. What a finish.

what I saw referred to his freshman year there in 24-25.

Newsletter they sent out today has a Friday night reception with details to follow.

We going to San Diego and there are late kickoff home games to follow (hotel rooms for us). Portland is a no-go. We really disliked our last visit up there in 2019.

I was looking at that transfer portal page and notice that neither Cyril Franklin or Jonathan Noudjihidi have a destination. I wonder where guys like that go? Franklin had his moments (both good and bad) for us. I don't follow many social media outlets but i can't seem to find any news on either that would indicate a new school.

they should probably remove the ECAC also?

I hope he has broad shoulders if we were to put names on the back of the jersey!

Kevin Blue is riding high as Canada gets into knockout round for first time!

I just bought tickets for Yankees vs padres on September 4 as part of our USD trip!

I guess we should root for Canada since Kevin Blue is the GM of Soccer Canada.

its new STUDENT orientation!

those games were at the old stadium that was off campus. We played there about 12 years ago (2014). This new stadium is really nice, although with no parking!

On a positive note, if Laramie (isolated city of 30K with 8K undergrads) can average over 20k fans, and 5k basketball fans, there’s hope for us!

I always try to be positive with my posts. It’s just been a bit of a reality check to imagine us adding 10k (or more) paying customers along with corporate suites in a few years. I think basketball is really facing an uphill revenue battle. TV money and P4 payouts will help balance things but game day revenue has to be a big part of the stream.

I get that things are regional, it’s just that the population and growth here just looks much different . Fort Collins and Loveland combined is roughly 250K with alot of new building going on, and plenty of commercial growth. And separated by an hour or more from Denver and any other colleges with sports, they have a bit of a monopoly for sports fans. I walked into our hotel to see two large banners that were CSU related - one offering a loyalist plan to alums. - with CSU merch on sale.

I’m in Fort Collins, CO. The new on-campus stadium is VERY IMPRESSIVE! Plus there are dorms literally across the street. Both FC and Colorado Springs seems so much bigger (and growing!) than Davis - the step up seems like an even bigger hurdle than just a matter of building up facilities. Getting the same level of local fan and financial support is going to be challenging.

They have people directing traffic at the intersection where the road from 53 meets the main road so it flows out well. The slowest part got me getting out of 56 is waiting on pedestrians crossing out of the stadium; but we’re generally in the car and on 113 within minutes after the game.
