Not too shabby. If you don't belong to the Flames Club please consider joining and show your support for LU athletics. I do not get compensation for this advertisement
Average 20,582
If we get a good crowd on Nov 7th, the Coastal game could give us 20,000 per game this season.

Sly Fox wrote:I agree that there is a concerted effort. Glad to see the hard work of a number of folks getting recognized. Just imagine what the numbers would be if we hadn't have lost our most attractive home date on the calendar.You sir, are very strategic with your words haha. Agreed on JMEWW game.

The Flames Club staff does a great job. There are some on here that should be Flames Club members but have not done so yet. Now is a good time to join. Flames Club is trying to reach the 1,000 member mark this year.

If you can't partake in the benefits, it's not a definite "you should do it" like it is at many schools.Athletic clubs are kind of slowing down. I know at WVU the Mountaineer Athletic Club membership is dropping but attendance numbers remain very high. The school has been offering packages such as Big 12 game package or 3 /4 home game packages for basketball instead. Sure beats paying the 500-1000$ membership fees just to even get to buy season tickets. But they have offset this with others ways to make money such as beer sales. Maybe liberty can try that one out.. jk of course. But the Liberty fans seemed to enjoy the beer at the wvu game.

SJ, you should become a member.

WHAT AWFUL WITNESSES THEY ARE - NO WAY THEY COULD POSSIBLY DISPLAY THE LOVE OF CHRIST WHILE SIPPING ON A BREW AND ENJOYING A GAME. SOME ON THIS BOARD ARE GOING TO SHITAKE A BRICK OVER THIS REVELATION>>>>!!!

If you can't partake in the benefits, it's not a definite "you should do it" like it is at many schools.I'm not a member... this was really the first year I was in a financial situation where I wouldn't have sweated joining. Unfortunately, my wife's business keeps us pretty busy on the weekends during the fall. That being said, the value you receive is pretty darn worth it. LU's gameday atmosphere has really improved and the price you pay to join is really not all that high at the moment in comparison to other athletic departments we'd compare ourselves with from an aspirations point of view. The kids club price is even more incredible, plus they get a t-shirt.

My position is that since I'm five hours away and make it back to one game a year at best, there are other places that are better fits for my family to give to. If I were able to make even half the home games in a given football season, I'd join in a heartbeat. When I was in Lynchburg, I was a member even when I worked for the athletic department. When I ran The LUnatics, we were members as well. It just doesn't make sense for where I am currently.Between you not wanting to give to the flames club and me not being able to make it campus in the 2 years I have lived in DC we are just terrible fans.
