Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 3398001, member: 7748"] I think you raise a really important point. The Phoenix metropolitan area is represented in all of the four major sports NFL, Major league baseball, NBA, NHL as well as WNBA. During this time of year snowbirds flock to the valley of the Sun to play golf. During basketball season fall through winter there really is a tremendous amount of entertainment options available both in and out of sports. The total market or demand for sports entertainment is not infinite so I think you may be very much on point when you talk about the various options that residents of Phoenix have. It's also worth noting that whilel ASU women's attendance at basketball games is disappointing it's twice the national average. Further while CTT has had great teams we have not had anything on the order of South Carolina, Connecticut, or even Iowa State. As the Oregon schools demonstrate in smaller markets with a very successful program attendance can increase. Although I suspect it cannot increase sustainably to the level of men's basketball.
