The band not being there is a non issue. If the school didn't accommodate students who live on campus to open the dorms and the food service early from break, how can you make them come back?
I mean in the 1987 season opener at West Chester, the IUP band made the trip but the WCU band was not there for their home game...and played taped band music over the PA. When we went back to Farrell for the State Game...the IUP band teed off on that when the WCU band would play and they would chant "Is it West Chester...or is it Memorex". (a reference that will go over the heads of millennials and zoomers). It is a bad weekend for games. Shepherd outdrew Grand Valley who draws north of 10K for their home games and they are located outside of Grand Rapids...a area that is far more populated. If the Lakers couldn't sell out for Northwest Misery in a big playoff game...are we really going to have their crisis because IUP didn't draw vs Ashland? The Penn State game had low energy too. The student section was pretty empty...it was not the usual atmosphere.
