8 Things UTEP Could Do Right Now to Improve Its Football Game Attendance
It seems UTEP football games aren’t drawing much of a crowd these days.
The last home game was witnessed by an announced season low crowd of 17,000 fans; although those in the know say the actual number of people who attended was way lower than that. Call me a Negative Nancy but I'm not optimistic it’ll get much better – both attendance and the team’s record.
I don't want to say they're awful but instead of the National Anthem they should consider playing "Taps." Sunland Park Mall shows more signs of life than their offense. And if you've been to that mall lately then you know how badly I just burned UTEP.
University officials told KFOX14 they had a few things up their sleeve they hope will increase attendance of the last 3 home games of the season but didn’t go into detail as to what those plans were.
I have a few ideas that might help them get more butts in the seats:
