At first glance I thought you were talking about Lincoln in PA so I thought I might get a chance to see you guys play locally. Oh well...love Arrowhead Stadium and the Chiefs though.

I've been trying to tell y'all that Doug is AFRAID to schedule quality opponents. He will get a pass coaching against TCU, because they are TCU. There ain't nothing about this game to get excited about. There ain't nothing new about playing in an NFL stadium. Hell, kids play in NFL stadiums all throughout the country for high school championships every year...how the hell is this special?
Lincoln University? :lol:
Carry on!
Do you thang Doug! :tup: :lol:

..and there is also a good reason why Robinson stadium is widely known for being empty.
JEFFERSON CITY -- The Lincoln football team will play Grambling State, one of the most successful historically black Division I universities, at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri on September 14, 2013. Betty Kemna, Lincoln's Director of Athletics, made the announcement on Wednesday.
The game, which will be called the Kansas City Classic, was made possible when Truman State announced it was leaving the MIAA. The current football scheduling structure of the MIAA requires all conference teams to play an entirely league schedule. When Truman State, one of LU's scheduled opponents for the 2013 season, announced it was leaving the league, the MIAA made the decision to let teams fill the open date with an opponent of their choosing, allowing the Blue Tigers to schedule a contest against another HBCU.
"The opportunity to add an HBCU institution to the schedule was appealing, and then having the opponent be Grambling State was an even greater draw for us to participate," Kemna said. "I am looking forward to working with the (Lincoln) Alumni Association and the Greater Kansas City Alumni Chapter in having this Classic be a huge success."

I thought LU was through with the SWAC, our game against LU was not pretty for real. They not ready for the SWAC and to play GSU of all folks is really bad when we played them we needed life flight to come get a player, if they got past the 50 I missed it, don't do it Gram you will hurt somebody
Probably so. They're probably still doing that buy 1, get 4 free tickets, with free parking, hot dogs, popcorn, coke, and game day program.Do they still give away free tickets to local high school students?

You try to smack, but actually you are close to being factual. I see two factors to why our attendance (at home) is not what it should/could be.
#1. Distance of fanbase ... unfortunately, even our home games are road games. Most of our fans travel from at least an hour away...the Monroe area is a half hour drive but drop down to Alex and the CenLa area and it becomes closer to a 1hour drive... 2 hours from come parts of North Central La (like my home area near Natchez), 3 or more from Acadiana and Lake Charles, 4 to 5 for BR and New Orleans. The alums in the Hammond area have even further! Is that an excuse...no, but it is a factor.
#2. Attractive Opponents... It really shouldn't matter, but even the teams we play (the nine game mandate) that have traditionally drawn well don't bring many fans anymore. Alcorn and JSU were always good draws for us... but outside of nostalgia and wanting to see a Gram game of "some" interest, our fanbase don't get excited about these games. Apparently, neither do their fans. JSU fans used to pack the visitors side...now on that weekend, they mostly stay in Jackson and await the usual news. Look at the attendance when we come there... JSU and Alcorn side isn't packed as it once was. Alcorn, I can understand because of the relative lack of success (especially compared to the Casem years) but JSU has been winning (at least against other folk). Your fans come out for the SU game, but not GSU... Kinda odd considering that one would think your fans would be more excited about a team that consistently comes to your campus and win. Maybe that's the reason yall don't come... they may have given up and accepted that "I ain't gonna drive all that way and be disappointed".
#3. We need more in-state matchups!

Under Doug, Grambling has played against: C-USA champion Louisville in 2000, #3 ranked Portland State in 2001, #5 ranked McNeese State in 2002 and 2003, and San Jose State in 2003. Doug likes playing tough teams, but doesn't like to schedule FBS teams every single year. I am a fan of that.
Excuses, excuses, excuses.:smh::smh:
When was the last time you came to a game in Grambling? The folk that used to come with you, they still come?
The attendance has dropped for that game regardless of where it's played... and the drop off can be seen on both sidelines.
I think your fans have gotten frustrated with the frustration of losing "again" and "again". No smack...but the truth is that the fanbases aren't up for that game
like in the past. I'm sure some of the locals come but even they (at both schools) have decreased. I have no empirical data, but I'm deducing that those JSU fans who
have to travel a significant distance make the choice of Homecoming plus either SU or GSU. Since most folks want to see a win, I'm thinking they choose to drive and see yall play
SU. I can't blame yall... I mean, why spend money for "more of the same".
