Round 1 attendance?

[Edgytim]

My game wasn't great but with EVille making a 5 plus hour commute I wasn't expecting much.

You?

At Riverside Brookfield was 60% full kn home Maybe 30% on away bleachers Halloween deterred the “average” fan away this evening

 

[Quags22]

60 % at best at Fremd.

Michael O'Brien called the game at Glenbrook South probably the smallest 8A attendance he's ever seen.

Not to make excuses but that drive to GBS from Minooka is brutal on a Friday night....

 

[MS4EVER]

Pregame there were 50 people and not one kid in the student section. Zero!! Easily the smallest playoff crowd I’ve seen at MS.

Playoff game on Halloween night is tough. Especially for those with younger kids who are still wanting to go trick or treating

Halloween plus students have to pay...

Oak Lawn was not very crowded and a small seating section (only one side of field) to begin with. Even more cleared out after StL’s 28 point first quarter and the rain started. Thought there would be more people because the schools are less than three miles apart. I think Halloween had to do with it.

Even though I watched it from home, it appeared the visitors side bleachers at Oswego were full.

I agree, i was at the Maine south game and there had to be only a few hundred people there.

 

[Cross Bones]

Not good. It ended up having *some* fans but not even close to last week. We had some decent rain in the 1st half in addition to Halloween. Hopefully it picks up at New Trier next Saturday

At LWEast in Frankfort the students were maybe 40% of usual. Overall home side 60%. Visitors from Stevenson stands were 30%.
Officials were in full attendance.
Students paying is the issue and sucks, but the cash cow IHSA needs to be fed.
