Fremd fans?

"I'm not letting my kid drive down there" is the answer. They will be well represented in Huntley.
WOW!! Hate to say but Brother Rice is in a great neighborhood. Bring your nose down to our level. It's nice down here.
Oh - they are snobby out here! I'm not - but I answered the "question" why there were not a lot of kids there. That and Palatine was at home ... these kids are all friends.
I'd challenge the Chicago neighborhood ignorant that 99th and Pulaski might be safer than parts of Palatine.
But that part of Palatine is Lake Country and in Palatine High district.
The ultimate deflection......where were your fans. I'm hopeful there was some sarcasm in the original statement.
Knowing people who knew the Ehlenfeldts...I can unequivocally say that was a reprehensible statement....
My buddy from grade school Mike Castro was murdered during the execution. What a POS comment.
I gave you two plausible reasons. You chose to disregard because you did not like the answer.
Mom and dad don't want their Lexus down there and Palatine was playing at home.

No disregarding your hypothesis here. I was referring to "overall" as in "across the state". Simply posing a question on the online availability's impact to high school attendance in general.
Ignorant posts here by many. The truth is that attendance was down everywhere- lots of fair-weather fans and students that chose to watch the Cubs Friday and Saturday. First round attendance isn't usually well attended to begin with (colder weather). More access to games online (cube) and CSN doesn't help either.
I was surprised at the number of Friday night games scheduled given the Cubs in the World Series...
Only option would be a Saturday day game as the Cubs played Saturday night as well. Lots of big time college football on TV Saturday to compete with, so you really can't win.
Fremd is in Palatine. Palatine is where Palatine High plays. The schools are not "rivals" in the sense there is not animosity. Friends watching other friends play ball. Also, Palatine was "the team" to watch, thus, some may have chosen to stay local and avoid the long drive down 294. My kid is a senior and I'm not comfortable with her on the expressway alone but she's driven to Wisconsin taking Rand Rd.
Many factors. Why is your *** chapped over this?
Don't blame 'em... those rough "Hindsale" neighborhoods are pretty scary.
Oh my *** isn't chapped... like is said, I thought our own attendance was poor.
I mentioned the same when New Trier beat MS for the first time in 15 years in front of maybe 50-75 people.. which was piss poor. They deserved a lot more support.
I think the Fremd boys deserve a helluva lot better effort given the task at hand, than the BS convenience excuse.
That's all... not chapped.

IMO, many of the previous reasons for low attendance are valid. Also, non-playing students supporting HS sports has been declining for years. HS sports just don't hold the same significance for most students, as they once did. There are some exceptions, but interest in playing and watching HS football has greatly declined.
IMO Montini is an exception. At the Ignatius game, Montini appeared to have more students and fans than Iggy.
there are plenty of exceptions. But as a rule, I think everyone can agree attendance is down across the board.

They had a nice Pub - "Fuller's"? right there in downtown that was nice for lunch and a couple of 3Floyds to wash it down before the 1pm kickoff!
But yeah thin crowds for both home and away teams.
Cubs in the World Series for first time in 71 years and the CFB slate on Saturday... tough to compete with for a Round 1 game.
Also a great tailgate across the street in someone's yard. Trailer with a couple of TV's to watch college football and some good food and beverages.
LWE fans came out Saturday afternoon!! Visitors side was completely full while the home stands didn't have enough people to cover the number of kids on the team. It was a sad turnout for the home team.
