Message: [QUOTE="oldhusky, post: 4039660, member: 9844"] I don't know how much of a negative impact Covid will have, but if this was a normal year, I would expect this team to outdraw the last two pre-covid years for a variety of reasons. For one, Paige is the kind of superstar player and personality that can be a draw by herself. Much like say Michael Jordan with the Bulls. During the Bulls glory years there was the usual base of fans that were Bulls fans, whether Jordan was there or not, and then a substantial number of Jordan fans that rooted for the Bulls because that was the team he played for. Paige has the capability to add to the fan base in a similar way, Paige fans that because of her become Uconn fans. Azzi might be able to have a little impact like that as well. Also in more general terms, I think this group of kids is very likeable. As a group they appear to be very competitive, work hard at their craft, are good teammates, pass to the open player etc, and are very easy to root for. That should be a boost for attendance as well.
