It’s almost like ECU is testing the waters for an eventual SB move. They’ll see that games vs multiple opponents will sell out and their fans actually care more about SBC schools than AAC schools.

Sell out for who? Sell out for you guys certainly. Sell out for ECU? Nothing personal to any of you but App is the only one who'll ever come close to getting a sellout in Greenville at this point. For ODU we've played 3 home games against them, in 13, 18, and 22. In 13 we sold 44.5k tickets for that one, average attendance for the season was 44k. In 18 (thanks Scotty Mo) attendance for the ODU game was 35k, average for the season was 33k. In 22 sold about 37k tickets for the ODU game, average home attendance was boosted by the sellout for State so I'll remove that one average attendance for the other 6 home games that year was 39.6k and ODU was the lowest attended game for the year. Nothing personal, but aside from App you guys are not going to drive massive increases in our ticket numbers, you guys are the only ones I suspect would actually bring 3-5k of your own fans to Greenville every year.

That's you guys' problem. Your stadium is way too big for this modern climate of G5 College Football. You'll only sell out for like NC State or North Carolina or so. You didn't even sell out for South Carolina a couple seasons ago. You should be downsizing and adding more chair backs and premium spaces.

Don't disagree with that point, but my point was other than App ECU is going to draw in the same basic range it draws for all the rest of the regional Sun-Belt schools, and other than App none of you guys are going to bring 3-5k of your fans consistently to Greenville. App is a different animal. I could actually imagine an ECU-App game selling out in Greenville if ECU got it's crap together and were good for a few years in a row. I think when good our attendance average ceiling is probably around where we were before the endzone expansion, which was 43k. When crappy I've seen where our average attendance resides, in the low 30k range. I was responding the point of playing SBC schools will bring sell outs, and it will, at your stadiums. App averaged a very impressive 33k for every other home game on their schedule, and for ECU they got over 40k, only were stopped at that because of space, and charged over double the face value per ticket vs every other game. Of course you guys want that game, just in additional ticket sales for App 7k at 130 a ticket is 910k additional not factoring in parking and concessions App I'd bet conservatively made 1.5 million more for the game against ECU than any other home game they played last year.

Well if you are looking at it solely from a ticket revenue standpoint, I guess it makes sense. But as I've told you before, I don't see this situation as any different than playing App State or Marshall in Conway. App usually travels well and Marshall has a ton of people already living in Myrtle Beach. ECU will get an allotment and Coastal will likely "Teal Out" seats limiting ECU fans' access. The stadium only seats 21k, I don't intend Coastal making any more revenue than they would playing App or Marshall. This is just a good regional game for the fans.

Hey I hope you guys don't charge more than double your typical face value for tickets to the game, but I'll be stunned if you don't. I'm not blaming App for doing it, they absolutely should have and ECU has done the same in the past charging considerably more when we played State or UNC vs any other home game. App honestly should have charged more, and I suspect they do next time we go there which is probably why I'll never go back to a game at App. It was a cool experience, but not $130 a ticket cool.

Cope harder. I sense a lot of concern from ECU fans around App and UNC-Harrisburg and it has manifested in the way ECU fans have reacted to this game being announced.

ECU has two P5 games per season every year after 2024 and they are acting as if Coastal is beneath them. They are also acting as if Coastal doesn't get App State to their stadium every other year to experience a new record crowd.

Marshall actually set the new attendance record this season.

Once again, I highly doubt Coastal would ever charge that much. If they don't capitalize on making more on App State or Marshall demand why would they do it for a school that a significant portion of our base isn't even overly familiar with. That makes zero sense whatsoever.

Unlike App State, a lot of our base is from the North East and likely won't be bussing down the doors because it's ECU but it is a name many are familiar with and a series that's good to have if nothing more than proximity and recruiting purposes.

I actually didn’t get the score right. In double checking, I see FCS JMU went on the road and throttled ECU 34-14. They racked up 410 rushing yards and harassed Gardner Minshew until he cried.
The funniest part was ECU’s coach calling timeout with 27 seconds left so his team could punch in a TD against the scrubs while down 34-7.

ECU is a nice regional punching bag and so is Coastal Carolina. It is a good series for like programs.

Going to enjoy your program falling apart

We haven’t had a losing season in 21 years and four coaches. Don’t hold your breath.

Anyway, ECU sucks. They’re going to bring down Coastal’s OOC. And probably vice-versa.

I dunno. I was just here to run down ECU.

I wish ECU were better at everything. Nice town, big school, lots of loyal if delusional fans, excellent proximity to lots of other football schools. They should be on all of our schedules in VA, NC and SC.

Who in the hell is UNC Harrisburg? Also why does it bother you that I don't think a trip to App is nearly a good enough experience to pay 130 or more a ticket to go to in the future? I like the App series a lot, I've been up front that I think ECU and App should play every year home and home (and me personally I'd make it the kickoff classic first game of the year every year). I'll make sure to go to every ECU-App game in Greenville, and for a reasonable price I'd go back to App it was an enjoyable trip. It was not a 130 a ticket plus the cost of parking and lodging trip, but that's not an insult to App quite frankly there's no place I'd pay that much to go multiple times. Also you guys sold every one of those tickets at that price, so whether I would pay that or not who really gives a crap you clearly could have charged more.

Stadium is now too big given the new realities. Considering the results over the last decade the fact that we still average in the mid 30k range is impressive, the product we've been given we should be averaging 15k at best. With a consistently good product for 3-5 years I think ECU could get back up to averaging right around where capacity was prior to the end zone expansion, which was 43k, but averaging 50k is never happening again (and really never was reality to begin with). Get an NC State or UNC at home and you'll have a sellout, and I could envision if ECU got it's sh*t together an ECU-App game coming close to 50k, but otherwise it is what it is.

Lots of aluminum seats to be swapped for more chair backs. That’ll take away seats without actual “downsizing”

ECU is a storied program with good history and impressive stadium. Don't listen to that coastal fan. ECU can afford the higher payouts to bigger regional opponents for visits to Greenville and you can actually fit their fans. The USM/ECU football series has a lot of great/wild games with notable participants. You would be an asset to the SBC.

ECU fits well in the SBC East. I like them along with USF, Memphis, and UTSA. But only if we can split into 3 divisions and have a 4-team playoff. Need NCAA approval for that. There is no need to add schools if you can't do that. Watch the B1G and SEC push for this.

I hope this really does become a thing. How fun would the SBC football season be then?

I have a hard time imagining the P2 pushing for more rounds to be played amongst themselves, though, when they'll get their top few teams in the 12-team playoff no matter what.

If that happens the ACC will be split down the middle. Half to the big 10 half to the sec.

ECU fits well in the SBC East. I like them along with USF, Memphis, and UTSA. But only if we can split into 3 divisions and have a 4-team playoff. Need NCAA approval for that. There is no need to add schools if you can't do that. Watch the B1G and SEC push for this.

If that happens the ACC will be split down the middle. Half to the big 10 half to the sec.

This would mean the elimination of all but one OOC game, a 10 game regular season schedule most likely, and the two conference playoff games to go with potentially three CFP games.

Seems convoluted. I see a split. There will be a P2 with an NFC v. AFC vibe, a playoff there, and a National Smaller than Super Bowl.

Then there will be real college football where we reside.

At that point they want is form them subdivision. Let’s happily allow them as long as the rest of the schools get the call the shots there’s nothing wrong with that scenario
