So it’s a chicken and egg situation? I’m in it much more for entertainment than for program support. Just being honest about that. Start time matters.This is the point that Robert is trying to address with his views on fan support. Poor attendance is driving less than optimal start times. When more fans start showing up the start times will get better.
Fan attendance does not matter for start times. The product on the field and the amount of people willing to watch it on TV is what dictates start times.This is the point that Robert is trying to address with his views on fan support.

Buy a lot pass on Seat GeekBy some miracle I'm on the injured list from work and was able to convince my retired alumni Dad up to the game. What's the best parking lot situation where he doesn't have to walk over 2 miles?
Agree, some feel that fans owe it to the team to show up. I see it as quite the opposite, you owe it to me to put a product on the field I want to spend a lot of money to see.it’s entertainment for 99.5% of us
program support is for those elite income folks .
on TV , the minute a game is no longer entertaining me (for whatever reason ) , I stop watching.
Bold spread. I think we can bully EIU but 31 pt spread means we blow the doors off of em and I think we lose too much production at WR to just hang a 30 pt win on a solid FCS team.According to Vegas we’re 30.5 point favorites

I kind of see it the opposite. BB doesn't seem to do much more than he has to do to win these games. He'll keep it vanilla as long as possible. If Illinois can just steamroll EIU, they'll beat the spread. But I think EIU will do enough and is good enough to at least keep from being steamrolled via the run.So I'm seeing something like:
44 ILLINI
13 Panthers
We cover the 28-30 points. My confidence is 100% due to having Bielema at the helm.
I’ve got mobility issues myself. SFC is not bad for parking but you need to get there super early for basketball games. Football is another story.Close to 3 hr from here, so 2:30 times are best. Leave around 8, tailgate, go to the game. Don't drink after halftime. Leave after game, home by 10.
I'm handicapped now and will ad getting info from the website on handicapped attendance arrangements is not good to say the least.
So basically we should all go to the game but turn our tvs on before we leave to drive the ratings up

IMO, nothing beats a pre/post game tailgate on a crisp autumn afternoon. It's worth the expense, even if thte team isn't doing too well.Agree, some feel that fans owe it to the team to show up.

There is no seat in the house even close to as good as watching at home. You can be on the 50 yard line, perfect amount of rows back, but at home, my view is always right on the action. I get replays, I get slow mo, I don't have to wait in line for a disgusting bathroom, or pay a ridiculous amount for a beer or snacks.
So if you want me to get up, drive to Champaign and then spend hundreds of my dollars, you are going to need to create an atmosphere that I want to be a part of, and that really starts with winning, and winning a lot.
It does sour a bit if the team is not doing well.IMO, nothing beats a pre/post game tailgate on a crisp autumn afternoon. It's worth the expense, even if thte team isn't doing too well.
