Message: [QUOTE="Huskee11, post: 4524580, member: 7171"] I am a season ticket holder at both XL and Gampel, and having the opportunity to see this wonderful team in action in person is truly special. I think that the attendance this year is also helped by the fact that South Carolina will be the sixth home game played on either a Saturday or a Sunday. (Would have had seven but DePaul was rescheduled from a Sunday to a Monday, but ticket sales for that game may have been higher in any event.) Four of them - NC State, Georgetown, Villanova and South Carolina - at XL. Weekend games are generally easier for the typical young/old UConn WBB demographic to get to. Example, a busload of kids from Canada came to see Aaliyah play against Butler on Saturday January 21 at Gampel. One factor that likely kept attendance down during the Stewie years was the joining of the AAC in 2013. Nice if you like guaranteed wins, but no rivalries and very little suspense. [/QUOTE]
