2015 Futures Bet : UConn FB Avg Home Attendance vs MSG BE Basketball Tournament Avg Attendance

[UConnSportsGuy]

Which do you think will be higher in 2015? I say 15,000 is the current over/under on each.

FB won't just be higher -- I bet it falls less rapidly than the Big East tourney sales.

 

[UConnJim]

BE tourney ticket sales will be fine. Why? Schools get <1000 tickets each. What will fall is actual fans in the seats at the BE tourney as there is a brisk secondary market in BE tourney tickets.

There is a brisk secondary market for BET tickets to see SU, Pitt, ND, and Louisville, not UCF, Houston, Tulane, and SMU.

A better question is how long before the Big East Tournament moves to a less expensive location...Providence perhaps, or the XL or maybe the Toyota Center in Houston...

I think football will be less than 20K. MSG will depend on which teams are playing Are we talking semi finals with Uconn involved? over 15K.

We'll still average over 20K. Hey, 15K don't even go for the football anyway, just to have a 4 hour tailgate

 

[Vuce]

If you are talking about tailgating vs people in the stands I agree. That stadium will not be half full for those opponents. And especially not in November and December games.

If we want out of the NNNNNNNBE, we better make sure FB attendance is 40,000! Pay our dues.
