Geno Offers Tough Love To NCAA

Live in Dallas also. They are promoting the game in every sports event, golf show, etc. I go to. Many local colleges like SMU have a booth at all their women's sports events. I get 1-2 telemarketing calls a week trying to sell tickets. Impression is that sales are not going well.

Yeah, we have noticed the same thing. We bought our seats at the SMU/UConn men's game.

I would expect Baylor to get the calls tonight. If they don't make it to Dallas, attendance could be a problem. None of the remaining schools close by and South Carolina's fans now may choose to go to the men's Final 4.

Problem solved.

On Saturday at Webster Bank Arena, I was standing in line and talking to a couple guys (UConn fans) who had already purchased their tickets to Dallas, before MD bowed out and before UConn had even taken the floor vs UCLA.

I wouldn't worry too much about attendance in Dallas at the FF. While there may be a bunch of folks from Waco trying to unload their tickets, there will be a sea of blue Husky fans ready to snatch them up.

I would also point out that last season's FF in Indy was supposed to be almost a home game for the Irish. But ND stumbled and the FF ended up with 2 west coach teams, Cinderella Syracuse and that team from Northeastern CT. As far as I could tell, there wasn't an empty seat in the place.

Actually the arena seats 18,000.... and the official attendance for the finals was 14,541 and 15,227 for the semifinals.
