What was largely empty is the student section behind the basket on the band side. Alex should take his issues up with his fellow students, or with UConn who stopped selling those seats as part of season tickets. 3) people leave early during blowouts, especially on weeknights, and particularly those with kids. It’s better to bring a young kid to multiple games and leave early if you have to than to not bring kids at all. Those kids are potentially future fans, students, season ticket holders. 4) opening night in Gampel wasn’t full either. There were empty seats. In fact, an 80% full XL center is still a few more thousand fans in seats than a sellout at Gampel. [/QUOTE]
