Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4538642, member: 7492"] These threads take on such a divergent life of their own, that many posts forget the main point, which on this thread, Duke attendance has dropped 46% from last year and 59% from the recent 10 year average. This is occurring as this team is a better version than any of the last 10 years. None of the reasons postulated by our many fine colleagues explains why. Did Kara turn off many fans by her style/personality? This is not a demographic issue. Many, many teams- elite (UConn/SC), good (Iowa/Indiana/Iowa State) or even below average (Texas Tech/Mich State) are drawing well this year. The Duke attendance will get a boost when NC fans (5-8,000) and NC State (5,000) fans come to Cameron but the overall attendance will still be way down from last year. While the trend down started with JPM from 2013-2020, it took a huge hit this year. JPM's last year in 2020 had 3,417 vs. Kara's 2022 season of 3,018 to now 1,620-Why? [/QUOTE]
