Round 1 attendance?

[Edgytim]

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

You?

 

[RPG24]

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.

 

[JolietWest90]

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

 

[Edgytim]

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.

 

[PowerI66]

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...

 

[OnVikings!]

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.

 

[Still Missing34]

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

 

[Anon1762015826]

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

 

[WIU@78]

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.

Dupo v. Salt Fork was pretty well attended...rain held off until after the game down here, and Salt Fork brought a decent number of fans even with the 3.5 hour drive.

 

[Redline9]

Saint Patrick had their visitor bleachers full with a couple dozen standing. Wauconda pretty much filled the bleachers on their sideline. Both crowds cheered well from start to finish. Best of luck to the Shamrocks moving forward.

 

[SiuCubFan8]

Lockport had a very nice crowd tonight at Sandburg.

 

[Bubbajoesam]

Geneseo vs Rochelle. Estimate. 4,000. Packed.

Not surprised. Two proud communities that love football.

 

[Catch-22]

Been parking at least 2 blocks away from the stadium for Montini home and road games all season. Today the parking lot was half full and the home stands were half full. And I hated to see it, but the visiting bleachers were completely empty. Montini fans went over to fill some seats in mid 1Q.

Big shout out to the Bronzeville kids. I think they had 24 players dressed…. Mostly freshmen and sophs. Threw two-pick 6’s on the first two plays of the game. Couldn’t have been easy for those guys, but they kept lining up and playing football. Good luck to all those guys in their future endeavors.

Friday night helped too....I've noticed in Morris in recent years Saturday games have fewer in attendance...even students involved are less like in band where many kids have jobs on Saturdays. Back in the day they(Morris) tried to have games at 5 or 6 pm on Saturdays. Seems like most are 3 or 4 pm now.

Friday night this year probably hurt most games since it was Halloween. I agree on Saturday night games, not sure why we don't see more of those. It just feels off watching a home Morris game during the day time.

I was surprised to see Morris have a Friday night game rd 1.....that's it for this postseason
