Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 3397859, member: 7748"] Like you I enjoyed watching both games. I was fortunate enough to be able to go to Desert Financial Center and join with the fans who were there on that special night and afternoon. It was amazing! As you said the two games were outstanding entertainment. The attendance at those two games surpassed by 70% the average attendance for women's D1 games during the 2018 season. While I wish the building was full the attendance was relatively good. I'm not sure any institution can dictate the choices of the members of the community. Tempe like the majority of municipalities in the United States strongly favors men's basketball over women's basketball. The NCAA data on attendance I provided earlier in this thread suggest that this is a long-term reality. ASU like many institutions of higher education has embraced multiculturalism, diversity, and valuing of traditionally neglected and marginalized groups including women. There are 55,000 students that are on the Tempe campus for ASU. Student tickets are no monetary cost. My season ticket general admission seat cost per game is $3.27. I'm not sure that there's anything that ASU can do to stimulate or change the preferences of sports fans. Coach Charlize Turner Thorne has been a tireless advocate for women's basketball in her time at ASU and before that at NAU. She recruits woman of high character and involves them in service in the community. The team works to be visible as possible. [/QUOTE]
