5. Background cont. Losing has not been a deterrent for the alumni and community so we wanted to know why students do not go to the game and what motivates students to attend

6. SURVEYED STUDENTS WHO WERE ON CAMPUS ATTENDING CLASS TO SELECT PEOPLE TO SURVEY WE EACH PICKED A DAY THAT WORKED WITH OUR SCHEDULES WENT TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF CAMPUS AND ASKED EVERY 10 TH PERSON TO PARTICIPATE. IF WE WERE TURNED DOWN WE ASKED THE NEXT PERSON. Methodology

7. Methodology cont. Split up the surveys so that each member of the group had to get 40 surveys completed while on campus. After looking over first 200 surveys we needed to collect 17 more due to incomplete or incorrectly filled out surveys. The sample was representative of the population of interest which was SDSU students.
