if it makes future fans that will pay to attend it's an investment.
Filling the stands makes the RU FB program look better than having empty seats.
But I can understand not liking announcing the attendance with the number of tickets sold and given away as a promotion.
Great points
Good points and you can still make additional money off concessions.
And to solidify that point. Was talking someone today who lives in the area of Rutgers stadium but never went to a Rutgers football game. She went to the game last night with her young daughter and friends. I asked her about her "game experience," and she laughed and said she had zero understanding about football, however, she said she and her younger had an absolute blast watching the cheerleaders, the dance team and soaking in the stadium atmosphere. She said she will definitely go to game in the future, and her daughter wants to go again.
We super fans and keyboard warriors tend to view things from our own little lens and viewpoint. The old saying in business that you have to spend money to make money applies here. Giveaways can bring in future customers.

She did have some comments about the horse video and thought it should have been about 15 minutes longer, and was confused why there was no score on the scoreboard and why there was no time to chant F Penn State.
That part below the line was totally made up, but everything above the line is true.
