There most recent game, currently as the #1 ranked team in the country, had attendance a little less than 7k. It's Texas, football is king. Basketball just tides them over until August.

Well the new stadium holds 7k, which is a little under their 2019 average, so looks like they planned it out pretty well.

Baylor couldn't sellout out it's first 3 games as the champs in a 10k arena.

Just like New Haven blew it by putting the highway in between downtown and the sound.

Looks cool. I wonder if there are options to expand capacity in the future.

The people of New Haven, Hartford, Bridgeport and Stamford had very little choice where the interstates divided their city.

Same with pretty much every other metro area in America, and the same happened with train tracks. "The other side of the tracks" didn't just randomly become a saying. Division in America has been systemic.
