[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Davidson home football attendance is very small.[/quote]

It’s a small school. 2,000 kids, maybe less. The question is whether a solid  percentage of those 2,000 kids make it a priority to attend home games.

Like, if my sports-loving kid were a freshman at Davidson next year, would it be easy for them to find a similarly sports-loving crew to go watch football, basketball, and lax games? And when they’re at football and basketball games, is it fun?

For reference, they’re at a relatively small public high school in New England- 200 per grade, so 800 kids total. The student turnout for home games is loud and very fun. Not huge in terms of numbers because the school is relatively small. But active, loud, and fun.

To use the SEC comparison, of course DC’s football game experience is nothing like the big high schools in Texas! But it’s great for its size/scale/location. Looking for LACs that are similar. [/quote]
They should just go to a university where people make sports their identity then.[/quote]

They don’t want a big school.

Their first priority is to go to a small LAC (for academic and other non-sports reasons).

Their second priority is that the LAC they choose has as much school spirit and sports participation as possible given the size and type of school. [/quote]\
Backtrack then. Find a medium school with strong sports culture that has a cohort small enough to be like an LAC.[/quote]

They don’t want a medium-sized school.

They want a small LAC that is < 3000.

Again, we would love first-hand insights  about which of the < 3000 LACs have strong sports culture given their size. [/quote]

Holy Cross is one the better options[/quote]
