Unless about 80 of those 113 were all seated behind the cameras ... they must have counted the players, coaches and officials in that number.

Of course, a 1 p.m. tip on a work day isn't too likely to draw well.

I'm always curious about the counts. At some places it seems they have their thumb on the scale (like yesterday perhaps). Other times--such as most WLU games--it feels like they undercount. There are many WLU games where it's a virtual packed house and the number comes back at, say, 550 or something like that. It's almost like they counted tickets not heads (but students, staff, & VIP donors not needing tickets means that 550 tickets was probably more like 1200 heads). It'd be nice if there were a standard and that standard were followed.

It's funny that they weren't afraid to let all those rabid Clarion fans in the house. Lol

The box score listed 113 as yesterday's attendance, so if 120 show up for IUP, I guess it'll be a "packed house."

In a gym that size 60 fans can still make a difference.

Heck, 120 would be a big crowd at some PSAC schools. Lol

The timing, however, is very suspect -- especially when they had a home game today.

Not sure how the "player pass" works. I assume each player probably gets 2-4 tickets.

Quite a coincidence, huh?

[IUPbigINDIANS]

Amazing how the policy kicks into effect the day they are suppose to play IUP knowing they were bringing a crowd.

Mercyhurst just announced that the only fans allowed will be required to be on the "player pass list" and that previously purchased tickets or season tickets can be refunded.


Wow. Here we go again.

I did presale for my tickets because I heard that about Hurst 3 weeks ago. I'm ready to roll!

The men's game against Slippery Rock, originally scheduled for tonight, has been moved to next Monday (1/17).

As of now, IUP's game Saturday against Gannon is still on for 3 p.m. IUP has asked Gannon, however, to move the women's game to Sunday.


Not an easy break for Tom after taking two weeks off.

One thing to keep in mind ... I put on the the first couple minutes of the Clarion/Mercy game at lunch. The broadcaster said Mercyhurst is limiting attendance in order to combat Covid. They have the seating pushed in behind the benches. So, get there early. As you said that place is small to begin with now.

First time I noticed, too, Mercyhurst is starting (4) guards and only playing Cam Gross (6'5") underneath. That's quite a contrast to some of the gigantic Lakers' lineups of the past.

I'll say this, IUP should have a large crowd on Wednesday. With David, Armoni and Ethan on the squad it should fill quite a few seats!

I remember that from the 19-20 season. IUP had some great crowds at GU, Mercy and Edinboro. In fact, the Boro game felt like a home game. Get loud in there Wednesday. They'll need you guys.
