caption: Despite all of the accolades and winning product being produced on the field, NIU's home contests looked more like hyped-up high school games than anything, because of the lack of NIU fan support. In fact, according to NIU defensive end <PERSON>, who played for Batavia High School during the 2013 IHSA Football Championships at Huskie Stadium, high school title games have fared better than NIU. Batavia also played for a title in 2017 at Huskie Stadium, and <PERSON> said the crowd size for the title games is impressive. ``We literally brought the whole town,'' <PERSON> said. ``It was crazy looking up there and basically seeing the whole town. That was the most fans I've played in front of, for sure. It was a crazy experience.''
