AAC vs Big East attendance

[IMind]

I like how the guy who made the chart put question marks as if it was UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE to figure out UConn's % of attendance.

2013: 7 Gampel Games (71169)+ 9 XL Games (146646)=217815 possible seats; 181255 seats sold= 83%
2012: (71169)+(146646)= 217815; 187118/217815= 86%
2011: 61002+162940= 223942; 186478/223942= 83%
2010: 81336+162940=244276; 216453/244276= 89%
2009: 71169+146646= 217815; 200284/217815= 92%

Five year average 87%

83% is pretty damn good considering a post season ban.

Paradise Jam on National TV. UConn played in this tournament last year. Just wait to see what kind of TV you get.

You never replied to my post abotu SNY being national TV. Everything is national TV these days. But how many homes are you beamed into?

Don't really care. The vast vast majority of their games are on FS1, which is exactly what I had said before the schedule came out and you doubted. Admit it, you were shocked to see that virtually everyone of their conf games is on FS1, and 4 OOC as well. Same goes for the entire league. Fox needs to fill up their content, so it was obvious.

Honestly, my biggest biggest shock is that FS2 is a filler channel with reruns. You guys are like at the early days of ESPN. Lots of filler content. Good for FS1, I just thought they had more inventory than DePaul v. Seton Hall. Pretty amazing.

It will be a few years before FS1 starts to build up content. FOX has done a good job buying up major college programming content and is catching up to ESPN, but that is just a small part of total programming for a channel that shows sports all day, every day. ESPN covers a wide variety of sports (including international sports, outdoors sports hobbies such as fishing and hunting) and has loads of sports related filler programming including a "countdown" for every sport every night of the week. Do to lack of filler material, FS1 will show more live sporting events, even if it is between two teams only regionally followed. I think this is great for leagues signed on with FOX, and as a consumer I would prefer to see a live sporting event between DePaul and Seton Hall (your example above) than watch a replay of a 25 year old game that is full of interviews or watch re-run of "SportsCenter" or "Countdown". I personally see the competition of FOX as a good thing for the consumer, because this may push ESPN to provide better content to compete and if nothing else will provide another option for the consumer to watch.

FS2 is showing reruns. That's why I was surprised. I thought Fs1 would emulate ESPN and FS2 would be like FS2. Instead, FS1 has all the live sports and FS2 is showing reruns. This would tend to devalue something like Fs2.

For sure. People who knocked our attendance last year don't understand that at places like Michigan, their attendance was ABYSMAL during their ban year.
