Last night was absolutely ELECTRIC! I have waited to see the day Temple played in a meaningful primetime game with a raucous crowd, and it happened. I couldn't believe my eyes.
That said, the only way to get those environments again, whether it eventually be in our own stadium or the Linc, is to continue to schedule marquee opponents that will draw. We are drawing an average of 30k fans this year (when normalizing for PSU and ND). If we can grow that to 40k by 2020, that would be a great TU atmosphere. That said, until that happens, we need to be able to give our students, alums, and bandwagoners great TUFB experiences.
In 2016 we have PSU on the schedule (away) and in 2017 ND on the schedule (away).
Who would you like to see us get on the home schedule (non-conference) in the coming years?
My thoughts are: Pitt, WVU, Rutgers, Maryland
