<p>Hey, I'm a student at Clemson and I'm looking into ways to get our student body more involved and enthusiastic about soccer.</p>
<p>I was looking at the NCAA attendance and couldn't notice your amazing numbers for soccer games. Is there a secret to getting all those people there? How do you manage to get all those people (I'm assuming a good bit are students) in the stands? Is there any reason other than the fact that they win? haha</p>
<p>Thanks in advance for any responses!

<p>Hi pierre0913 – my son is a freshman at UConn and has gone to soccer games. When I relayed your question to him, he said quite a bit has to do with the ‘Goal Patrol’ – a fan club established for the soccer team to increase attendance. There are Goal Patrol meetings before each game where they give away free stuff like scarfs and other things, and special ‘freebies’ to the first 100 fans at the games. After all, what college student doesn’t like free stuff? And, once people are there, they stay and enjoy…</p>
