There are a lot of factors that affect attendance, and winning is one of them. Have a winning record in October and November and a lot more people will be in the seats for games like UNR, SDSU, and Boise State. But a lot of those people are already counted in the attendance figures since the season tickets were sold.
The outlook on attendance the critical first three Allegiant years has taken recent hits, not just because of the impact "social distancing" is going to have on Cal and ASU attendance in '20, but the recent announcement of the rest of the visiting opponents for '21 and '22: Eastern Washington, Iowa St, North Texas St, and Idaho State... how many fans are going to travel here for those games, and how many locals are going to get excited for those opponents? What happened to bringing in PAC12?
Long term keeping a fan base is going to take more alumni that will go to games regardless of record, and to develop that UNLV needs more students showing up at games. So now is the time to start building student attendance. It's free for them to attend, just get them to want to!
North Texas https://fbschedules.com/ncaa/unlv/
Iowa State will bring a good crowd, but Eastern Washington, Idaho State and North Texas St. are going to do nothing positive for fans support. As for those teams being scheduled, I have not found anything that shows any of those teams on the future UNLV schedule? https://fbschedules.com/ncaa/unlv/
Eastern Washington is a lower division program. That is a really bad game to schedule for UNLV.
Thank you for clearing up the recent scheduling of those games!

Nobody but diehard fans will get excited to buy a ticket to watch UNLV play Eastern Washington in the new stadium. Alabama sells out their stadium for every game, UNLV is lucky to get over 20K to a game.
Also trying to build a bowl eligible schedule is big for a program like UNLV. We have to do a body bag road game to pay the bills so having a softer home opponent can offset that. Though it may not draw many fans, still worth it for the season IMO.I'm well aware of how many people UNLV gets at games. And one way to bury attendance is to start off the season poorly
I'm not suggesting cupcakes only, but going with a brutal schedule early and a poor start doesn't help either.
A decent mix can be had. Quality opponents plus a 'gimme' game is fine.

Only time to do a murderous OOC if you think you have the squad to BCS bust/NY6 bowl, etc.
