In this week’s round table, The Cougar sports staff discusses fan attendance, the effect of the number of commuters and balancing fan hopes and realistic expectations for Tom Herman and the Cougars.
How would you characterize UH’s student attendance at athletic events?
Sports writer Michael Calderon: To me, student attendance has been largely results driven. If the excitement of the event is high, then the attendance will spike. If it is nothing special, attendance will dwindle. Football is obviously the highest profile team on campus and draws the biggest crowd and even they have trouble filling the student section.
