Going one month at a time due to my terrible motion sickness while dealing with microfilm (even Dramamine doesn't help all that much), almost done with the Blizzard's first season. Interesting bits:
--Because of their unusual alignment their first season, they played Huntsville and Birmingham, AL more often than they played against in-state rivals Wheeling
--Of the teams they played more than once (so far), they drew 4263 avg. against Birmingham, 4193 against Louisville, and 3891 against Dayton
--As would be expected, weekend dates are more lucrative; through 26 home dates they averaged 4389 fans on 12 Friday/Saturday games, against only 3177 fans/game the rest of the week
--Four games drew over 5000 fans--two on Friday, two on Saturday. Five games drew less than half-capacity (<2800)--two on Sunday, two on Wednesday (the H-D devoted a couple articles to the idea that the Blizzard wouldn't do well on church days), and one on Tuesday
I should have the whole 1993-94 breakdown for you guys tomorrow.
