Message: [QUOTE="southie, post: 2363299, member: 2527"] You might not know this if you haven't followed women's hoops for very long, but back in the late 80's and early 90', Texas was consistently drawing home crowds of about 10,000 fans. We were one of only a handful of schools who made a commitment to women's athletics, and the fans turned out to support the hoops program (when it was winning). Now, things are a lot different. Home attendance hasn't increased like some might have expected as the winning is increasing. But, for games against programs like Tennessee, Baylor, and Oklahoma, the fans do seem to turn out; the home non-conference schedule needs to get better, IMO. When UConn comes to town, it won't be a sellout (16,000 arena capacity); but, it will probably be the biggest home attendance in a very long time. [/QUOTE]
