Reply to "The Importance of Attending College Games"

Midlo's suggestion is excellent.  The players don't just show and play - at least the home team.  I know in regards to my son, he and his teammates were at the field 3-4 hours before the game.  Spent about half that time prepping the field, then warm ups, BP for both teams and finally taking infield reps while the coaches finalized and exchanged line ups,  Finally it was game time.   Afterwards it was another hour or so cleaning up before returning to the apartment or dorm.  For a typical doubleheader they spent about 12 hours at the field of which only 6-7 hours was actual game time.

He did say there were certain advantages if they were the visiting team.  Simply get off the bus, get the gear situated, warm up, BP, infield and then play.   Afterwards it was clean up the dugout, gather and store the gear and then back on the bus.

The JuCO he played for probably average about home 40-50 fans.   When he played at a D2 university, it was 25 on a good day.  In HS it was usually at least 50 home fans and more in the playoffs.
