Message: [QUOTE="freescooter, post: 4350076, member: 1023"] If you mean if we go 35-2, yeah probably. But a couple of other things keep attendance down too. A big one is cupcake row that opens the season. When we play a string of Central Connecticut, Howard, UMBC, UNH, you just are not getting much of a crowd. Then there is this tendency to play national opponent in the early season on neutral sites. When we first started our rise you could sell tickets to watch UConn play against a team of traffic cones. Those days are over. Then when you play most of your name opponents in fake tournaments in the Bahamas or MSG or wherever you lose games that would bring big numbers. Those events have multiplied like rabbits over the past decade. So instead of having 15000 for Kansas in Hartford and 15000 at Kansas for UConn next year both teams play in front of crickets in the Battle for Some Casino in the Azores. [/QUOTE]
