The University of Maryland's attempt to increase football game attendance by offering students a chance at free tuition failed to draw a significant crowd for the recent matchup against the Illinois Fighting Illini. Despite the incentive, SECU Stadium remained largely empty for the Halloween matinee.
The Terrapins, who have experienced a coaching change this season, lost to Illinois with a final score of 20-17. The low attendance at the game drew commentary on social media, with observers noting the stadium's sparse occupancy.
Maryland is set to play Purdue on the road next, followed by a home game against Wisconsin.
