We’re number 17! (That’s a good thing.)

College football is about more than just the players on the field. A true college football experience involves the student-body and fans in the stands. You may have noticed from the photo atop this blog that at Loras the stands are packed. In fact, we’re ranked 17th in the country for fan attendance among Division III teams. That’s pretty impressive considering there are over 400 D-III teams across the country. We average almost 3,500 fans every home game and you can bet we’ll crush that number this season for Homecoming and the annual night match-up against cross-town rival the University of Dubuque.
