Yeah that would be the case if they got 9-10k a game but that’s not happening. The fan base out there is small so unless people drive from the Hartford area you won’t get sellouts. Everyone’s mindset is changing when they sell “10,100 tickets”(I saw some empty seats) on campus for the first time in awhile. XL usually draws 10k+. If you are struggling to make money, you want more fans that won’t buy the cheap student priced seats. I can see where you’re coming from but the student body is not interested in men’s basketball right now because of it’s recent history and lack of national recognition. They had to give away tickets for free, plus shirts and hats to fill up the student section. Sure the atmosphere was great but it will probably only be that full at the USF game because of Ray Allen. Houston wouldn’t even get 10k there because students won’t go to a game on Valentine’s Day, they are all going to go out and party and go on dates.
