Round 1 attendance?
- Thread starter Edgytim
- Start date
At Riverside Brookfield was 60% full kn home Maybe 30% on away bleachers Halloween deterred the “average” fan away this evening
Michael O'Brien called the game at Glenbrook South probably the smallest 8A attendance he's ever seen.
Playoff game on Halloween night is tough. Especially for those with younger kids who are still wanting to go trick or treating
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.
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.
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.
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
Gotta appreciate the visitors parents and family coming to watch what could be their boys last HS game. I saw alotta post game hugs yesterday and it’s gonna be a tough one whenever it comes to an end.
Lot of Halloween Hangovers it seemed for a MC/LA game. The 4:30 start time probably didn't help. Average at best crowd for a game like this. Maybe 70 LA students. 150 MC students and then the parents and loyal fans of both
It was a late arriving crowd for sure, but not close to the lowest attendance of the season. Probably 250-300 students at the end of the second quarter. GBS even got the game time wrong on its instagram, which I'm sure didn't help.
However, the entire student section minus about 20 kids cleared out at halftime. Keep in mind the score was 27-7 at the time and it looked like it was going to be a blowout. I wonder how many would have stayed for a competitive game.
All....Big crowd at the SHG/QND game and a large crowd across the street at the Party House watching as well. Ratsy
I would say a very good crowd for the traveling SHG fans ... the QND stands looked a little sparse
All.... Agree although part of that was of what was going on at the party house. The long attached deck to the house was loaded with people. And the new structure set up directly behind the house where the food is served had a bunch hanging out there as well. Had to be 100 Raider fans over in that area whooping it up. And they don't go inside the stadium once they get "going." Spent some pregame time over there myself.
RatsyWilmington had big attendance as usual, but light attendance on the Hamilton/Warsaw side. They had a 4 hour drive which I'm sure contributed to that. Next week at Seneca I'm expecting large attendance from both sides. Wilmington has always been a football community and Seneca has a great fan base as well.
Disappointed in the Coaler fan turnout. Bleachers were probably 75% and not hardly anyone along the fence
Glenbard West was down at least 1/3 at the start. Student section is usually huge and often dwarfs the home team’s student section on the road. Game was over by the end of the 1st quarter and the first half was agonizingly long. Pretty much parents left by the end. I would hope they’ll be back to normal with Downers Gr North next week but we’ll see.
