Message: [QUOTE="maple, post: 4843703, member: 7970"] JMA Dome now, actually. :p Most of the Dome is closed off for the basketball games, and they put portable stands up on one side of the court. Honestly, for big games (usually against popular and/or ranked teams) the place fills out nicely, but even for less attended games it doesn't feel too empty. Usual attendance is ~1,500. It's not lightning up the world but it's actually an improvement in past years. The game against ND drew almost 3,000. [S]If UConn came to play here it would probably be a sell out.[/S] The Dome is nicer and more accessible than the old field house they used to play at. I think it's a better option, even if it isn't filling up. I think Big East teams could do more to promote their teams. There's no reason why they can't be averaging at least 1,000 fans at every game. Most of the BE programs are basically on par with Syracuse. [/QUOTE]
