That annual time of year that brings us all closer together to root for the Aggies and to participate in all those wonderful Homecoming traditions. Oooh, I'm getting all giddy just thinking about it all. Actually, maybe giddy isn't the right word. Maybe it should be more like curious. I'm curious as to why NMSU still finds it necessary to put on this annual farce.
Lets examine Homecoming.
Well, as the name would imply, it's a time when alumni return to NMSU to support the Aggies and celebrate their years at this university. Maybe I'm wrong about this, but it doesn't really seem like people are flocking back to good old Aggie Memorial Stadium to celebrate this event. The stadium holds 30,343 fans. The average attendance at Homecoming over the past four years is a whopping 12,553. That includes that 1996 epic battle against Southern Utah that 5,331 screaming Aggie-maniacs attended.
