Message: [QUOTE="caseyb7, post: 5002651, member: 9520"] I attended the Sun Home Opener last night - as I often do. I had heard the hype about "sold out" and increased ticket priced, which in the WNBA is often exaggerated as so many tickets are comp to organizations who give them out free to members - who never show. Whoa Nellie - last night was legit. Every seat had a body in it - not at all like a typical W crowd. Sat next to W first-timers, family with 2 youngins holding a "Caitlin" sign for the TV. People were engaged, friendly - and there to see Caitlin. Not for nothing there were a bunch of UConn alumni playing as well - Katie Lou for IN, Mo Jeff & Ono for the Sun. Surprise to me was Caitlin started and then she played heavy minutes making the crowd & TV, very happy. She scored 20, but the experienced Sun defense disrupted her ball-handling and she turned it over. Really not a surprise for a rookie. Crowd didn't care. I've been to lots of W games over the years including many Playoffs & Home Openers - NEVER seen Mohegan like that, even for concerts. Hope it lasts, CC is good for our sport. [/QUOTE]
