The Building Was Alive Today!

[Blaneylover]

It's been coming, little by little. The home crowds are getting their mojo back. Today, Gampel was essentially sold out for a Sunday afternoon game against an 11 win team.

After coming to games for years, it's my first year with season tickets (Gampel only). Game by game, the crowds have gotten better and better. The building was alive for Temple...but it was on fire today. The fans love this team because they give maximum effort on every play. Looking forward to Senior Night.

A 3-1 record in our last 4 games would give us 9-9 in the league and 18-13 overall. That should translate into an NIT bid, which would really help these kids gain valuable experience next season.

Get your tickets now!

I hope the athletic department seriously considers cutting down on the number of student tickets next year. I never thought I would be writing this, because the students can make or break the atmosphere. Our students get FREE tickets, it’s a Sunday afternoon with NOTHING going on and only about half the student section was full. Absolutely unacceptable these kids have free seats and they can fill that place every game.

I believe huskython was last night which is probably why there weren’t many students there

A huge number of students were wrapping up huskython, staying up for 18 hours to raise $1.5 million for charity. There are all sorts of things going on we may not always be aware of; some actually important.

To be fair 4000 students stayed up for 18 hours straight for HuskyTHON ending at noon and have class tomorrow. Raised $1.5m for CCMC.

Ok, I get that and respect it, but this is not a one off occurrence, it’s now become the norm.

HuskyTHON probably played a role in today’s low student attendance. I thought the student section was fine for Cincinnati, though. XL Center games always drew fewer students, but it’s been really sparse there.

At least it’s better than football, where hundreds of students go to tailgate and never enter the stadium.

 

[gampelcrazies]

I didn’t know they had HuskyThon all year long.

 

[ToolzieFan]

How has student attendance been at weeknight Gampel games? I’ve only been on weekends this year.

 

[RayIsTheGOAT]

The students have showed out at Gampel this year, all things considered. Today was noticeably low.

Just wait until Big East games.

 

[rayrayfor3]

HuskyTHON was a factor for today. But the XL student section was not good. It was mostly filled with young alumni at the memphis game

Didn’t see this posted but Blakes was at the game with his family behind the bench.

Hurley’s 15-2 at Gampel, you really think he’s gonna let Youstin roll in here and win on CVs senior night?

The game I’m worried about is the ECU game, they’ve had some good home showings and we’re terrible on the road (1-7). It’s also a trap game coming off a midweek game at the XL against UCF, travel to ECU for a Saturday game at 2, then come back home for senior night vs top 25 Houston. I’m just worried about the ECU game

 

[MilliniumPrince]

Those dunks by CV and Bouk almost brought the place down! It was a great atmosphere.

 

[XLCenterFan]

The crowd looked alive on TV - nice work to all who were there!

I figured that was a recruit but I couldn’t figure out who it was

The building was alive for Temple...but it was on fire today.

It getting we can't even be honest here anymore. The building was somnambulant most of the game. I was stunned how dead it was in there. It didn't wake up until Bouk's slam. If that counts as fire in Gampelworld things have deteriorated worse than I thought.

 

[Vancat]

I wasn't there, but I sensed that at times the crowd was a little quiet, expecting another...well, you know...

They were at teds though...
