Tennessee State Plays In Front Of Season-Low Crowd A Week After Eddie George Plea For Support

They need to stop playing games in an NFL stadium. Games need to be on campus if you want to drive attendance.

Casual fans, not avid.

Breh, I'm talking AVID..and actually more popular than the NFL

the stadium is only 10 mins away from the campus

the stadium is only 10 mins away from the campus

The issue isn’t the distance from the campus. It’s that with HBCU football only the elderly folks with the straw hats and bleacher seat backs actually go to the football games to see the game and root on the team.

The kids and people who just hang around the school go to the football games on campus because it’s a jumping off point to something else they actually want to do……………usually within walking distance. If the football game is off campus those folks aren’t making a trip to that game and then have to drive back to whatever it is they wanted to do.

TnSU alum & supporters have been told the school what the deal is. When they join a HBCU conference & play HBCUs all year they’ll start showing up more.

Nobody wanna see them play Austin Peay, Evansville, Tennessee Tech & Morehead state every year

The school and Nissan stadium are in a prime location in Nashville, they definitely should be in a position to bring in schools like FAMU, SC State, NC A&T, Alabama State, Jackson State, or any of the well known HBCUs. It’s crazy that they can’t bring a crowd especially with how crowded the Broadway is on the weekends. I hope they will figure it out.

shyt, the distance between the campus and Nissan Stadium is basically a cross campus trip at most colleges. People could literally part on campus and walk there if they didn’t feel like paying to park near the stadium.

attendance at the magic city classic was 69210 with probably 2-4K outside the stadium.

They should have tried to join the SWAC when FAM & Cookman did

Why folks ain't supporting Eddie like they be supporting Deion

Because - and I say this as a supporter of both men - Eddie George is about TSU, and Deion Sanders is about the Sanders brand. Hell, Eddie's youngest son plays for TSU and you don't hear anything about it. Whether that is a positive or a negative, I'm not sure.

Nobody is going to see you play a team that's 0-8 this late in the year. Schedule better
