Season tickets aren't cheaper - other ways are cause demand is down. People are now picking and choosing which games to attend. I remember how expensive it was to buy extra tickets for family visiting from New York who wanted to go to the game.
Pretty sure they are top 10 maybe top 5 for men’s basketball attendance
No. I moved 200 miles away
yeah, but why did you dump the season tix?
They are. So is Nebraska often.
My son is a student at UConn now and he told me a bunch of them are planning on lining up to get in hours before the game. Also, the school made them get tickets for this one beforehand rather than just swiping to get in. Expect a good student representation tomorrow. Should be fun to be at Gampel. Looking forward to seeing the 1989-90 team and JC the GOAT
and.......?
People are picking and choosing because we were awful for several years in a row and there's only like 2 or 3 matchups which are attractive to non diehards.
How’d we do?
Not bad. You're not the guy who shot from half court for a boom box, are you?
Several sell-outs a season counts as all the time to me.
Looked pretty full to me.
I don't know what you're talking about.
During a time out, there was a guy named Max shooting half court shots to win a boom box. Guess it wasn't you.
I question your commitment.
That’s one. Also 50 inch TVs. Every game on tv. Just a different society. And the fact that generally speaking the in game experience is not as good as the at home one largely to accomodate tv. If you go back and look sellouts were pretty rare across sports until the mid to late 80s. In some ways we are returning to the norm.
Maybe next year but long term not so much. We were not selling out in 2011-2015. In fact attendance fell every year from 2008 I believe. I suspect it might bump up next year but UNH, NJIT type games that sold out in 2004 won’t sell out in the future. Big East games against the bad teams won’t sell out after next year. Heck UNC, Duke, programs that would sell out for practice if they wanted don’t sell out except for big games now. I guarentee everyone will be patting themselves on the back when attendance bumps up next year. But in 5 years they’ll be trying to explain the fall off. 3 if we don’t make the Tounament.
