Sell-out at Maryland

[nyfanofwbb]

Surprisingly the students don't fill the stands for a women's game as they do for a men's game. At Gampel the fan base is 50 + years old (and they do travel) and then sprinkle in your cyo and youth leagues checking out a game. Being there is no school this week you might see a lot of youth groups attending the game. The stands weren't filled at the garden last year but there was a good amount of people there to watch.

Maryland fan base for the women is mostly 50+ years old. The students generally have disinterest for the women team but are crazy for the men team. But the students did turn out for the game three years ago against UConn.

I've seen rude behavior from UMD students at volleyball games, of all things. Not so much about how many students show up as it is which students show up, I think.

Watched the Louisville vs Maryland game and if that lane is as open as it was for Louisville I sure hope we use it.

personally I like WBB because thanks to cheap tickets ... then compared to say mbb or cfb, there are a far greater percentage of star struck junior athletes who dream to be one of those women playing the game.
