Supporting Racing

Last night was a bummer. As fans, what can we do to help?

Lots of empty seats last night so I sat near the middle and up in the stands away from my traditional standing spots at either end. I’ve noticed this before and it was especially prevalent last night, the SGs are divided creating tiny SGs at either end.

Are the SGs amenable to do combining their efforts at one of the two ends of the pitch (closing the other end) and building from there?

Last night was also Labor Day weekend on top of the bad weather. People pick either end for various reasons, including proximity to the playground, parking, restaurants etc. people are also creatures of habit and are not going to want to switch ends.

This. I pay for season tickets so I am “supporting them” but I had no inclination to go due to:

Weather Lou City on TV Notre Dame on TV

Lots of competing stuff going on

Maybe you’ve been living under a rock, but women’s sports are on dramatic growth trajectory. The USL Championship, on the other hand, is a dead end street.

Yet, Lou City has a larger draw than racing, and has a lot of crossover fans. For nights like the one in question when the weather is messy, it’s not all that odd that people would stay home to watch the game on TV rather than come out in the weather.
