Message: [QUOTE="JFC613, post: 2104935, member: 4234"] You hit the nail on the head. This has been a frequent thread on the BY. The guys I attend with have said for a long time that UConn's marketing is pretty weak, at best. There are all sorts of tie-ins with youth groups, corporations and bus trips that could be arranged. I haven't seen an attempt to do anything by the University? I know Geno harps on the fall-off from the glory years, but things have changed. Take even yesterday. I realize the school was not in session, but the food court in the Union was closed except for Dunkin Donuts and maybe one concession downstairs? The lines at DD were really long. I spoke to a DD employee and they said the manager didn't even realize there was a game Saturday so they didn't bring in additional help! The University is partly to blame for a lot of this. I know this didn't impact yesterday's attendance, but in the future some people may not be willing to attend seeing what eating options were (not) available? They do surveys and I haven't seen one significant change? They need to hire an outside firm. There's absolutely zero reasons the place shouldn't be at or near capacity with the team we have. [/QUOTE]
