Pretty much what was expected regardless of all the excuses. Lucky that many showed and most of the wives and kid looked tired and did not want to be there.

That was game day attendance back in the 80s at the old Ru stadium. The program has come a long way.

You are never going to get a lot of students and I'd bet most schools have no better luck. It's a boring scrimmage, you can't hit the QB, and there is zero excitement or emotion From either the fans or the players. Spring game is fun for the die hards, the players and you just pray nobody gets hurt.

This..as much as I try to convince myself every year I attend the spring game that this year it will be different, it still ends up being boring

I did my part. I word a half red, half white, half black t-shirt so I'd be counted as three people. I've gained a bit of weight, so I figured I could pull it off.

And yes, I DO know that I said three halves. You gotta problem with that?

Coming off a lackluster season, not having an instantaneously recognizable big name coach, and a roster without a star player, what is everyone expecting? I attended. I'd guess somewhere between 12 and 15K in attendance. Essentially Rutgers football diehards and people looking for a free outdoor activity in attendance. Biggest discussions in my section were the QB competition and the sweet men's lacrosse and baseball wins over Pepsi State. Some minor complaints about not having printed paper rosters available. Did stadium staff have rosters to hand out?

There hasnt been printed rosters for spring game in about 5 years

Damn Subsidy.

Plenty of nicely printed gloss programs with the roster in numbered order,although I do wish they would have included the 2016 schedule for fans who may not already have one. The program was sponsored by the the Rutgers Dual Fuel Energy bars and milkshakes.

Rosters were available both outside and inside the stadium.
I can photo copy mine and send it to you for a souvenir:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I got one. They were being handed out in the north entrance.

A lot of people did just that.

Rosters were handed out as fans entered the stadium .Maybe the supply was limited.
