While cool in theory, I think attendance could be hurt by all of the families with kids who will be trick or treating. I was really hoping this would move to the Friday before and possibly be the blackout game.

Going to be a tough day for us if it is not an early game. We get around 500 trick or treaters each Halloween, and our town is very involved in the celebration. My sons are going to struggle deciding between the game and Halloween at home.
Wow, that's a lot. Our neighborhood used to have lots of kids, and maybe bc our street is not in the main part of the 'hood and all the kids who are trick or treating age are grown, we get very few each year.

We used to live in Lambertville, and we would legit get over 1000 kids each night. We moved to Flemington 8 years ago and now we get a tame 400-500. We have a large number of friends who come into town for the evening, so I think we have seen a consolidation of celebrations to certain communities as people seek out larger exerpiences.

Lame excuse to think Halloween would impact fans attendance. The greatest comeback happened on October 31, 1992 against Va. Tech. The game was packed and the fans rushed the field. :D
My freshman year. Too much fun the night before. Didn’t make it to the game.

In recent years, I feel Halloween has been taken over by the adults who go all out.

Schiano's biggest issue is ego. He thinks he's the smartest guy in the stadium every Sat. Then he gets outwitted, but his ego doesn't allow him to fix it. See the idiotic call to ice the kicker but not before he gets the kick off allowing their coach and everyone else watching to see there is no chance. Then he loses the game. His answers to that post game would have gotten most coaches fired.

You just post the same thing about Schiano over and over. It’s boring.

Should have a lot of great vibes at the start of that game … Chris B had 4 TDS and Mario Henry had a great catch on that final drive!!!
