The "apathy" is mostly due to the crappy OCC slate

by KelleyCook , Tuesday, March 31, 2015, 08:39 (3305 days ago) @ Domer99

Students showed up to almost all the ACCgames and the Michigan State game -- except for the Jan 3rd Georgia Tech game where they weren't around

They averaged 8972 for the real games (with 6 out of the 8 being sellouts) and only 6708 for the rest of them. The lesson should be beef up the OCC.

the Polo Grounds

The "apathy" is mostly due to the crappy OCC slate
