Message: [QUOTE="RayIsTheGOAT, post: 4194967, member: 6090"] No, I'm not new to UConn basketball. I was born and raised near Storrs, but I am much younger than the BY demographic I think. Please don't pull the "guhh you must be new" condescending fan card for a small point I made. I went to plenty of games in the mid-late 2000s. Granted, mostly Gampel games, which were always filled to the brim it seemed. And the XL games I went to didn't have as many empty seats as last night for a midweek BE game, but my memory could be failing me. Regardless, my point was moreso about why other schools around the country get a packed house for a mid-week game. Arkansas pulled a sold out game last night on a Tuesday- 20,327 was the attendance listing for that game against Auburn last night. And I swear there were no empty seats in that building. If there were, I couldn't see it. We're UConn playing a ranked team, and we had 78% capacity with 12,188 in attendance. I'm thinking it has to be a covid factor. If covid wasn't a thing, that XL center would be sold out or close to it, right? I'm not really criticizing the fan base or the program. It's just interesting. I totally get not wanting to go because of covid. [/QUOTE]
