Re: RPI Hockey 2019 - 2020 Part II: Moving on with 2020 Vision!
Claiming that RPItv is the problem and suggesting they institute a media blackout policy (a policy that is universally hated by the fans of the sports that have them) is truly wild. I'm pretty sure RPItv never gets much more than 1000 viewers per game (though I could be off here), and a significant portion of those are people who are alumni no longer within driving distance of RPI. I don't see how making the games less accessible is supposed to increase fan support.
Despite how good the broadcast is, I have a hard time believing that anyone is choosing to watch the game on TV (or other screen) rather than going to the game if they're near the HFH.RPI Pep Band

Originally posted by ServinisScores View PostI think the attendance issue is multi-layered:
- more events to compete for the fan’s entertainment budget
- technology like RPITV makes it easier for folks to watch and stay in touch
- Program has had an extended run of mediocrity
- lack of PR and outreach outside of Troy
- the game experience is not as engaging, nor unique as it was 5-10 years ago
- the general feeling towards the Institute is not favorable; for both alums and non-alums.
As a non-alumnus, I have wondered lately whether that last point--the general alumni feeling--is hurting support of RPI events. I don't have an opinion on that one.
