Why was it a "very below average week"? On the Sports Friday highlights, Don Sloane said it was a nice crowd. But, he was filming from the visiters side. He never once showed the visiters stands, only the home side. Since you don't figure in programs, 50/50, game ball, parking, does that 20k only come from the gate? If you charge 7.00 a ticket, 20k would get you less than 3000 people. Harding Stadium would be over half empty. That's not a good crowd at all for that stadium. When you say "Big Red cleared", do you mean the athletic dept., or the football program? Who pays for the lights? The city, or Steubenville City Schools. I know the officials can be very expensive also. Aren't the concession stands ran by the band boosters?
