Smallest crowd in 25 years

Everyone should quit whining. It’s a process; our winningest coach ever even said so.

Our progress should be measured over generations, not over seasons.

50, 75, 100 years ago our games weren’t even on TV. We didn’t have stadium lights or The Boardwalk.

Compare the state of the program today and Schiano’s amazing legacy to your great grandfather’s gridiron squad and you will recognize how lucky you are to have Schiano in charge.

And your own great grandkids will probably see an 8 win team in their lifetimes.

Keep Choppin!

More enjoyable to watch a local HS football game on a Friday night than this slop.

Just can't get into high school level sports. I do attend some Monmouth games as its not too far away.

Yeah, HS games are meh, unless you have a connection to one of the teams. Been going to a lot of field hockey games (mostly Princeton, but also RU) which are normally played on Fridays and Sundays.

They’ve checked tickets once in last 5 years
This guy was hunting people down as they walked down steps

He was hunting? What are you even on about? It seems that he was doing his job, and you don’t want him to. Have your ticket ready rather than complaints.

Yes
9 completely empty rows in 118
He goes up and ask to see ticket

I’ve noticed you reject any negativity in every post on any topic

but your name is a negative comment about one of R most exciting players over the last 30 years

I wonder if we topped the Columbia - Georgetown attendance today.

I’ll beat the dead horse….two words, student engagement

what does Rutgers do to engage students, get them to the games and give them a GameDay environment ??? Rhetorical as the answer is zero. If we’re a solid team or ranked and playing a name team, the students typically show up. Why not make the day a thing as well? Everyone here talks about our great tailgating areas/lots, but where are the students????

There’s no where for them to gather, congregate, or tailgate. Many stay of College Ave. The game is across a river in a different municipality for the majority of students. Until we're a consistently ranked team, the tailgate is still the attraction. These are the same students that will be expected to come back as young alumni, or alumni with children, or future donors. Give them something to remember.

The Boardwalk is great, for families. Students are not given a chance to purchase colored lot passes. No area is reserved for them to gather, congregate or tailgate. Friday night, my fraternity had a date night dinner cruise around NYC. This coming week, they're hosting a sorority and the alumni of both...on College Ave because there's no place to do it on Busch, or near the game. That's 500 people on College Ave. Same for other frats. These are exactly the students who are engaged on campus and most likely to return to campus as alums, but they are shunned by the school. IMO, huge miss
