Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2111134, member: 7492"] Ok, here's some numbers to assess before making blanket statements: 2015 NCAA Tourn attendance neutral site 10 sessions-8,900 per site 2016 NCAA Tourn attendance neutral site 10 sessionso-8,133 per site. 2015 West Reg Final Spokane -MD vs. Tenn 5,032 2015 South Reg Final Greensboro - SC vs. FSU 6,364 2015 East Reg Final Alabama- Dayton vs. UConn N/A 2016 East Reg Final Bridgeport- Tex vs. UConn 9,088 2016 south Reg Final Dallas- Bay vs. OSU 6,050 2016 Midwest Reg Final- Stan vs. Wash 3,349 2016 West Reg Final- Sioux City Syracuse vs. Tenn 4,055 Ave attendance is skewed by 37,530 attending Final Four in 2015 With 29,500 attending Final Four in 2016. Using some math, Regional sites averaged 6,184 in 2015 and 6,479 in 2016. The take away is Bridgeport has supported the Regional very well. The numbers for Albany weren't listed but my math can surmise it too had higher numbers than the others. What does this mean? 2015 was disappointing with SC only getting 6,364 in Greensboro and Baylor disappointing last year with 6,050 in Dallas. Other sites were truly neutral and didn't draw well. It makes sense why neutral sites can't be used. Also that MD CAN'T complain given the general support that the regions get. Only the Final Four sells out big arena's and shows that WCBB still has a ways to go for full public support when compared to Men's. That is not taking a swipe at anyone, just perspective for us fanatics to consider. [/QUOTE]
