You go HBC's! Of course, that is all about the bands! Maybe we need to pump up the Big Red Machine more to increase attendance.

1000000% this. I think they can make a really big difference in game atmosphere, if they are given the chance.

YesSir.

Was perusing the ISU retro twitter feed and saw a pic from homecoming, I think late 60's, and they crammed 21k in that place. Bet the band was rockin' that day...

Given a chance? Are they being limited?

That's a nice per game increase (1400) over 2016.
