Again, though, were there really only 285 people on hand to watch this game? That tells me that the Maroons faithful must be abandoning the ship already, and that Wheaton is continuing its long-standing tradition of not traveling well.
yeah, wheaton didn't travel well... there were maybe 10 or so students. and u chicago is only 45ish minutes away! a couple alumni and parents were there too... but other than that, not a whole lot of wheaton support.
but yes it does seem that chicago fans are abandoning ship because there really were very few fans. by my estimation, i'd be surprised if there were more than 100-150 chicago students there. and not very vocal at that. it could have been a neutral-site game for all intents and purposes
