Hopefully one that will go on to win the Division III Championship! 

Sorry about that post.......Here it is again.

Are there any percentages as to when Trine was at an away game?........in some cases it seemed like Trine had more people at the away game than the home field team did.

MIAA Teams ranked in attendance  by % capacity...

Trine - 96% (4784/5000+)
Adrian - 71% (2120/3000)
Hope - 47% (2335/5000)
Kalamazoo - 38% (1148/3000)
Albion - 36% (1858/5114?)
Alma - 35% (1417/4000)
Olivet - N/A (611/?)

Any ideas on Olivet's max capacity?

Good stats for Trine and Adrian, but what has it been for the last 5 years?

Adrian

2010: 2120/3000 - 71%
2009: 2016/3000 - 67%
2008: 2225/3000 - 74%
2007: 2235/3000 - 75%
2006: 2400/3000 - 80%

Trine/Tri-State (I don't know the old capacity of Trine's stadium, but for my stat purposes I will leave it at 5000)

2010: 4784/5000 - 96%
2009: 3352/5000 - 67%
2008: 3737/5000 - 75%
2007: 2917/5000 - 58%
2006: 0930/5000 - 17%


Any percentages for when Trine was at an away game. Sometimes it seems Trine had more spectators at the away game than the home field did.

Haven't been on for awhile......when catching up on the current topics........here is something to consider on the attendance issue.....let's see what happens with the predicted rise in gas prices this summer if people choose to attend or not........

Congratulations goes out to the one the only Eric Watt this years winner of the Gagliardi Trophy. You did a great job on and off the field and represented Trine University all the way. The Trine Thunder Football Family is so proud that you were our QB for the last four years......Be Proud.....Be Loud.......THUNDER!!

I didn't see any purple blood or tears for that matter.....but I did see one heck of a football game. Congrats to Trine for putting on a performance for all the Division III world to see. Hats off to the coaching staff and all the seniors for a putting in their time for the past four years. Take in all in and take it with you as you finish out your senior year at Trine University. It was a great "comfort" knowing that these seniors became the young men they are today through the game of football......

It was a great football game. Congratulations to Trine's players and coaches.  They played REALLY WELL!  UW-W is getting pounded on these message boards because Trine did so well.  I happen to believe Trine is far better than anyone realizes. UW-W will do our best to hammer NCC to send the message for you! 

It was an exciting game for sure!  If not for the Trine fumble near the goal line towards the end, trying hard to get the TD, the score MIGHT have been a little closer.  Our receiver has made super plays all season and almost pulled off another one.  Then an onside kick, Watt driving the team with some last second heroics, etc...etc...etc...  Sorry for dreaming a little. 

A game against UW-W is a benchmark, and Trine wants to be in that same light.  Based on how far the program has come, Trine's coaches know what they are doing, and how to get there.  Although we don't need a UW-W playoff run to validate our season, and we are willing to stand on our own merits, I do hope UW-W goes all the way and pounds everyone in its path.  I think that some of UW-W's competition wants to believe there is some chink in the Warhawk armor rather than admit Trine is better than people thought.   

Good luck Warhawks!

Uncle Rico.......It's okay to dream that's how a team starts to become great....and great they did become....you can't take that away.

bleedpurple.....You can't argue with what took place....As much as I would like another team to get to Virginia (Trine for sure) hope your prediction comes true

Thanks for the welcome....as far as the name I always wanted to do that at an NFL game...but thought this was the next best thing! 

I am new to post on the boards but have been following them for the last 4 years. It's been interesting to read the conversations between everyone each week. So, for my first post I want to Congratulate Trine for their great season and the 45-35 win in the first round.....emphasis on win and securing another week in the playoffs. As for UWW.....buckle up for the Thunder is coming to Wisconsin.
