They don't sell out. Why would you expect it?Yes LSU game is the game that Candace Parker will have her jersey retired. So I expect that game to be sold out.

Last year,when they put a banner up in honor of Summitt, against #2 Notre Dame they had only 13,500 in the 21K+ arena.
Tennessee does normally lead the country in attendance. Parker is one of the most popular players ever there. Even if it's not a complete sell out there will be a very big attendance for this game. It's against a quality team in LSU. I also think Parker is Wilson's favorite player. I am not saying where she will go. I think she is doing a smart thing in taking her time.They don't sell out.

Wow.............A quick check of the schedule says that Tennessee will be at home playing against LSU on the scheduled visit of January 2--4th. I am guessing that not many students will be back from XMAS break as well. Campus may be a little less exciting and a little less vibrant during those dates. LSU may just give the Lady Vols a good game and just may spring the upset. I am sure Tennessee would have loved for the visit to have been scheduled when a cupcake was on the dinner table instead of a tough steak.
Also , a check of the schedule says that South Carolina has the misfortune of having to play the Kentucky Wildcats on Wilson's scheduled visit dates. Dawn Staley probably didn't have much hand in Wilson's scheduling her visit dates on such a tough game night here either. The Wildcats of Kentucky will probably feel right at home in South Carolina's backyard and could have chicken for dinner on such an important night for Gamecock recruiting.
Most coaches probably like talking with recruits after a big game win. But this has a chance of not looking good , especially for South Carolina if the Gamecoacks can't handle the Wildcats.!
I'm not sure we quite have the quals to be saying "only" 13,500.
Everything in Tennessee is much cheaper. Not sure why entertainment would be any different.One issue is that Tennessee ticket prices are much cheaper. Good seats for $15. General admission for $10 or less. Same tickets in the Excel Center are $23. I wonder what UConn would draw if they went back to the old days of $10 tickets.
Like some here on the BY aren't?Well, I hope she enjoys herself. The fans of these four schools are on pins and needles.
Oh no! I heard Wilson wants to wear #3 in college!Yes LSU game is the game that Candace Parker will have her jersey retired. So I expect that game to be sold out.

FWIW, I do not expect us to sell out. Attendance is down all across WCBB and if we can't sell out Notre Dame when they're raising Pat's banner, I doubt we'll sell out LSU with CP, but I do expect 14,000If course I have the quals (whatever that is) to point that out. My point had nothing to do with Uconn.
Stwain said it would be a sellout. I only pointed out that for Summittt, the didn't sell out.
The "only" meant compared to a sellout. They haven't been over 65% in several years.
Geeeez.
Which is exactly what I said to Stwainfan when he said it would be a sellout. It won't even be close to that.FWIW, I do not expect us to sell out.

Ms. Wilson is, by all accounts, a highly intelligent young lady, and it does not seem likely that the number of fans at a particular game or the outcome of the game would play much of, if any, part in her long-term plans. She has given herself a long time to consider all the factors involved in that decision, and I would be very surprised if she is not at least 90% sure at this point what her decision will be. We all profoundly hope that the national exposure and opportunity for maximum development at UConn will be the deciding factors, but whatever she decides she will be ok and so will the UConn program.
I suppose so. What is the price of a ticket at Thompson-Boling for wbb these days, anyway?
she does seem very intelligent in how she is handling the whole process. she has said recently that she wants to play in front of large crowds. any athlete of her caliber would i suppose, which is why i still don't understand why diamond and crew decided to play in front of a couple hundred people every night. what is a large crowd to wilson? who knows....
True - cost of living is significantly different which I am sure affects ticket prices somewhat.Everything in Tennessee is much cheaper. Not sure why entertainment would be any different.
