    I should really get a Kickstarter going to fund me and my family going to all of these stadiums (well, except Goodman, the Yale Bowl, and Williams stadium, which I've been to )

    I said this on Bisonville but the UNI dance thing was something I must have missed but it could have been a couples only slow dance by the end of the game with this few people.

    TSN... ok, let's break this down...

    2012 FCS Attendance Average: 7,206 (No. 63 in FCS; No. 3 in Patriot League)
    Number three... 3! In this case, three<1... 1, 2, 3 Who is number one? Lafayette...

    What's Great: Located in a rural valley with the scenic South Mountain and its fall foliage serving as a backdrop, it's hard to beat the outdoor setting surrounding a Lehigh home game.
    Uh, Fisher Field provides the same view, minus an interstate and coke furnaces.

    The students come out to tailgate in a big way and fans take advantage of the grassy hill overlooking the south end zone, bringing an intimate feeling to a game.
    Wha... WHAT?? Ok, the drunk Fountain Fowl like to drink, but take a look at their 'student section' and it's about 25 frat bros wearing turd stains and chanting cliche "safety school" and "you can't do that" chants.

    And INTIMATE?? When seats at the 50-yard line put you further away from the action that sitting at the 5-yard line? Maybe intimate with a sunburn and some wasps... Not to mention the PA announcer who drools over the microphone and sounds worse than a New York City subway conductor over the PA.

    Plus the academically strong league takes its football seriously, with football scholarships being introduced this season to raise the level of play even higher.
    The league takes its academics seriously, not Lehigh. Dead last in APR by a wide margin behind the other schools? I did not know physical education and communications were such difficult majors.

    Mountain Hawks fans support the home team well.
    ... which is why they are ranked third in attendance...

    Their rivalry with Lafayette is the most-played in college football (it hits 149 on Nov. 23 at Goodman Stadium).
    ... and accounts for a majority of their attendance.

    So TSN, how did Rahm Emanuel put it once? F----g retards...

    Seriously, this must be a joke. I have been to Georgia Southern a few times, although not in that last couple years,and I did not think it came close to Johnson Hagood Stadium even if they were not leaving. If we are simply talking about attendance, that is one thing, but for the overall game day experience, convenience, and quality of facilities, JHS is right up there with any venue in FCS.

    Re: TSN Top FCS Venues by League

    Another pointless rant by Pardlife

    Hey genius, why do you think Lafayette led the league in attendance? LC-LU? Over the last 30 years who's had the better attendance on average?

    As of 2009, Lehigh led the league in attendance 18/19 years. My guess is they led the league in 2011 as well. So what is that? Like 19/22 years?

    Well, for one...there are probably women at Paulson. That's something.

    Maybe, but if you have never been to a Citadel game, there are lots of CoC and medical school students hanging around trolling for men. And Charleston girls are just a bit better than Statesboro gals.
