It’s incredible how much the school and community has rallied around Coach Prime in just a year.
Jackson State has always lead the FCS attendance or has been top 5 along with Harvard, Yale, James Madison, North Dakota State and Montana in alternating years.
However, this is next level. They drew 53k at their last home game.
All I can offer is they are in Jackson, MS. Not too hard to get around there and not a big bother to get to the stadium, etc.
I think if we were in San Antonio or Temple, TX we would have larger crowds too. The logistics to get to a game in Houston are difficult for many folks.
Not rocket science. They have a buzz (because of the coach) and their games are fun and eventful (good team, great band). We have no buzz and after every game you will see people complaining about their experience.
Deion is in the right place at the right time - in a one horse city that has a legit football tradition waiting for a winner plus they give him the keys to the city literally
