RE: BC bucks attendance trend

September we are still going to the beach and getting out on the boat. Football is better in Oct and Nov.
The other issue I have with BC's schedule is the even years (Clemson, Syracuse, Louisville, ACC Rotating) are so much more interesting than the odd ones (FSU, NCST, WF, VT) . It would be nice to swap one of the NC schools with Louisville/ACC Rotating to have a little more balance.
What? BC gets FSU and VT in the same year... what more could you want? ;-)
Seriously, though, did you notice that the #1 highest-attended home game for BC in 2015 was Florida State? It was 1st by a good 9,000 fans - and got more people than Notre Dame/BC at Fenway Park. Sure, Clemson drew about 2,000 more than FSU the year before (there is a MUCH longer history with Clemson than with FSU). BC had about the same size crowd when the USC Trojans came to town - but that's a huge national brand. Plus, the fact that BC won that game probably juiced up the rest of the season in terms of attendance...
