Message: [QUOTE="Padutch5, post: 1986745, member: 3528"] Having just read all of the excuses for the poor attendance, I need to weigh in. First, my wife and I have season tickets for men's, women's basketball and football. So yes, we go to many more games than one a year. I agree with whomever said we need more weekend games. Last year Geno commented on the good attendance after one of the Saturday games, particular on the number kids. I think the same holds true of the men's games. No one has mentioned pure old fashioned "jaded with success" as a reason for the poor attendance. When we moved here in the late 80's it was impossible to get season tickets. When we first finally got men's tickets we were in something like row ZZ, two rows in front of the hockey press box. Now is almost stupid to get season tickets since there are so many last minute deals and it seems , based on the number of transients sitting around us at every game, you can actually get better tickets on a game by game basis. If I didn't have season tickets I too would be more likely to skip a game because it might rain or its too cold. [/QUOTE]
