Hey cgstar. I, too, was a big Friday night football fan (among other sports) in high school and I’m big into school spirit. I would give Richmond a strong “C” rating in that dept. Sure, there was lots of support during March Madness, but in general, there is just not much Spider Spirit - or at least sustainable spirit! It hasn’t stopped my personal participation however, nor would I ever consider transferring because everything else is great! There have been recent efforts to rally more student attendance at the football games, but I haven’t seen much improvement yet (mass exodus at half time.) It’s too bad, because we have an awesome new stadium and some talented players! Granted my perception of school spirit is also swayed by my exposure to my brother’s school, Clemson. Now there is some serious spirit! I hope you decide to apply to Richmond. It truly has much to offer and we would love to have you join us in the student section to cheer on the Spiders! :)
