Seriously, delete your account now:I see you're as self-delusional as ever. You've never "busted me up". Ever.
Good lord, now you are yapping about "FIU regularly packs their soccer games". Yeah, they had to move them to Joe Robbie to handle the crowds, didn't they (see below)?
But, hey, thanks for using "Women's March Madness, a few years ago" as a comparative. What a clown show.
"I never said that". Yes you did. I don't have to invent the nonsense you spew, I just quote it.
Here we go, I'm about to bust you up, you and your horrible false claims:
FIU Home attendance - 2023 - men's soccer
VCU - 854
Central Arkansas - 574
New Hampshire - 480
Temple - 417
USF - 605
SMU - 502
St. Mary's - 0
Charlotte - 410
FAU - 1,007
Mercer - 687
PACKED. Packed, I tell ya.
Yeah, the joke's not on me. I can't believe you were bragging on FIU men's soccer attendance without even taking a stab at Googling before you shot your mouth off. Oh, sorry, you were probably trampled during that massive FAU-FIU derby...
The rush of support last year surprised even head coach Kyle Russell, who along with the players was swept up in an emotional tide.
“What's happening at FIU with men's soccer is something like I've never seen before at other universities, and it's amazing,” Russell says.
He cites 2022 sold-out home games, overflow spectators watching the action from outside the fences and the university adding more stadium seating for post-season matches to accommodate enthusiasts.
A record number of fans came out to see the team play last season, with the 1,000-person capacity stretched to the limit three times in back-to-back-to-back games.
Even the Panthers of the baseball team made a regular activity of coming out to root for their fútbolcounterparts, bringing with them noisemakers and outsized enthusiasm to stoke excitement and show their pride.
