Is there any hoopla planned for the opening of the stadium?

Probably not, since a ) they've already played on the field a couple of years; b ) it's not really finished yet, with restrooms to be added along with field hockey seating; and c ) students are still on winter break.

 

Maybe if they have a spring fling or whatever they called the spring homecoming, later when it's warmer.

Hey - this guy thinks there should be three Big Purple Growls.

I tend to agree with him.

In contrast to his (and the general) impression, football has a higher per-game attendance than basketball almost every year.

Football has led every year in the Division I era, except 2002. This year would have been the year for Basketball to take the lead as not having a home game until October and a monsoon homecoming hurt football, but it doesn't appear that it is going to happen. Basketball is averaging 2627 to date. Football averaged 3165.

2002 was a fluke year as we won the NEC and ECAC bowl over #21 Duquesne. Pretty good attendance in good weather, but there was a rain game against St. Francis (634), and two horrendously cold and windy games the last two weeks (Monmouth 757) and the ECAC game against Duquesne (898). Box score for ECAC game has 30 degrees and 35 mph winds. The two coldest moments of my life I think.
