OT: Harford scene biggest joke ever?

[JSM1970]

I've honestly never scene a bigger no-show than this. Hartford and CT are total jokes.

 

[Letsgohuskies11]

Did they sell you it was going to be a mini Boston?

Did you notice what the crowds were like in Orlando last year? It has nothing to do with Hartford. They might as well play this tournament on the moon. Nobody cares.

This but also I don't think Hartford is really a selling point to out of state fans, it's great to bring in business for the state

 

[Fishy]

We need to find out who hurt this guy.

Yes, at least Hartford put forth the effort to get it. When you can't even entice fans to visit Orlando for it in March, the venues are not the problem.

He bought the summer preseason aac tourney tickets for $200

You are such a ray of sunshine.




Not wrong.

 

[BugsyCT]

It's not so much Hartford as it is the fact that this makeshift conference has too few established rivalries between non P5 schools that are 10 states away.

 

[wethyhusky]

He sure does need to be hurt

 

[Jaker]

Lets just face the facts that the entire conference is a joke.

 

[ucjoet]

This has nothing to do with Hartford and all to do with The AAC conference. We had a group of 10 people go down to Memphis for AAC tourney. After Uconn beat Memphis in the first round , there was nobody at the games. We paid $5 per ticket for semis and finals. The only reason we paid that much, is that we actually felt bad for the scalpers. We could have gotten them for less.
The AAC tourney will NEVER draw well, with teams from all over the country with no history tied to theses teams.

Wtf would u feel bad for someone whose job it is to screw u over by selling u tickets for greater than they were purchased?

And ur right, the tourney probably won't sell well no matter what. This is a tournament of undesirables, it's like that weird table from the wedding singer

 

[JSM1970]

Maybe, but Hartford is a joke anytime of the year, let alone March. Do @ NOLA or Memphis. Party cities.

The B1G tourney crowds are pretty weak too... I know the AAC is not much of a draw and the obvious instant death of Hartford scares some away, but it seems that the college basketball crowd as a whole is diminishing. Am I wrong in this belief?

Comparing Hartford to NOLA. Might as well compare the Wolfpack to the Bruins. Trolling donkey

 

[Travelman6]

When people say they want out of the conference, here is a prime example of how I understand them...Memphis and Orlando were the same. Not many people care about a random mish mosh of teams with no history and all the travel a lot of these teams have to make is just awful.

 

[Mots010]

This is exactly what the aac tourney attendance looked like In 2015. There's just no interest in this conference.

 

[JSM1970]

Troll? Tulane is a conference team.

UConn is playing and if ther are 3-4K people there I'd be suprisied.

This is college sports in general. Only a handful of schools are drawing well with lackluster squads.

 

[Travelman6]

How were home game crowds for UNC when they were down for those 2 years? Or UCLA for their few down years? Just curious.

 

[upstater]

Yes, I think there were more than 3k there tonight.

 

[HooperScooper]

Gotta pack the place tomorrow. No excuses. The team needs our help.

 

[Palatine]

AS the game went on the crowd got bigger. It was like a football crowd. By the second half it looked pretty good.

You can have a lot of fun in Hartford if you're willing to do unconventional things.
