Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4537343, member: 591"] Attendance is, as I said in my rather lengthy post, complicated by many factors. Tucson was ripe for increased attendance as many of the points you make are true. The only disagreement on the matter between us is that of the tipping point. The attraction to get the "ready" fan base here in Tucson into seats in McKale Center was the winning. Just a good program would have grown attendance, from the 1500 range to maybe 2500 or 3000. But upgrading to leading the PAC in attendance required "being good" as demonstrated by wins and losses. The popularity of the men's program for all these years is likewise ultimately based on "being good". I don't know why women's basketball is not more popular. Just look at the per game average for most teams and some entire conferences. Absolutely disappointing. [/QUOTE]
