Appalachian fans question about Highcountry grizzlies
How did your new national arena league team do this year with attendance local support etc. ? You guys are a much smaller market than the rest of the teams in the league . Did the school make much money for the use of their basketball arena ?

RE: Appalachian fans question about Highcountry grizzlies
I think they averaged a little lower than 2000 or so this year. As far as the year, had up and downs. One up; Malachi Jones won Rookie of the Year. He was fairly beastly. If he had worked with a better QB the team would have been in the playoffs, for sure. Local support is there, and not just in Boone. The team will definitely spend some more marketing money in areas like Lenoir, Wilkes, Ashe, and Avery for the next season. Also, with the NAL adding expansion teams it might spark interest in locals. Playing the new Richmond team (which won the APF championship this year) will probably draw more fans than a team from "Dayton". Another thing that could add to the attendance would be snagging a few more graduated seniors from App that didn't get a call from the NFL.


I'm not sure how much the school got from the lease of the HCC. Looking around at other venues, it seems probably around $3500-$5000 per game.
