Message: [QUOTE="MU in MKE, post: 4210753, member: 9984"] Attendance and atmosphere between the locations is an interesting topic. Something I just realized today, because of a comment on the MU board, was that despite the poor choice (in my opinion) of which games to play at Gampel vs XL, UConn is the ONLY school to show an increase in attendance this year in the BE. The rest of the conference are all down this year (probably b/c of covid) but despite the poor scheduling, UConn's attendance being up is pretty remarkable. Well, maybe not since it's the first season in the BE where fans can attend and the team is playing better. But at least the scheduling isn't completely holding fans back. Side note [USER=8938]@JB75[/USER] and [USER=1618]@JohnFSilver[/USER], I can't speak for Texas, but I'm not sure where you get your impressions of the midwest from. We're not all rolling off the farm 2.5 hours before game time, knowing that it's the only thing going on in town and we might as well make the long trek because we've just got all this magical time to spare. I believe all the midwest Big East metro areas except Omaha are larger than Hartford. Now if you'll pardon me, I only have 2 hours for lunch and that barely gives me time to get to the nearest convenience store and back to the [S]office[/S] production line?... [/QUOTE]
