Message: [QUOTE="whaler11, post: 2114270, member: 676"] Always good when some guy in South America had an opinion on attendance. This is all very simple. There are 3.6 million people in this state. Regardless of what you read here unemployment is not an issue. There is plenty of wealth and positive cashflow. Do we really not have a good enough fanbase where 13-14k can show up in Hartford for 2 frigging hours for this program? There are no shortage of excuses: the league sucks, the team has been bad, the school is clueless on how to present games, the school is completely lost on how to sell tickets, the buildings suck - we've got all the excuses. On the other hand there is zero live sports competition and you know those 4 national championships in 15 years were nice. Connecticut has killed every sporting entity put before it in the long run. At least all the others could blame poor results - when the fanbase smothers this program because it had the nerve to struggle... at least some people took an extra few hundred dollars to the grave.
