TSN... ok, let's break this down...
Number three... 3! In this case, three<1... 1, 2, 3 Who is number one? Lafayette...2012 FCS Attendance Average: 7,206 (No. 63 in FCS; No. 3 in Patriot League)
Uh, Fisher Field provides the same view, minus an interstate and coke furnaces.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.
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.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.
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.
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.Plus the academically strong league takes its football seriously, with football scholarships being introduced this season to raise the level of play even higher.
... which is why they are ranked third in attendance...Mountain Hawks fans support the home team well.
... and accounts for a majority of their attendance.Their rivalry with Lafayette is the most-played in college football (it hits 149 on Nov. 23 at Goodman Stadium).
So TSN, how did Rahm Emanuel put it once? F----g retards...
