Message: [QUOTE="ToolzieFan, post: 4187288, member: 7018"] I was so taken aback by the lack of students at that game that I took this photo five minutes before tip. In fairness, the student section was packed for the Cincy game two weeks before. I love a good Gampel game as much as anyone, but as an adult with a job and a family, I appreciate being able to get to a few games at the XL Center because it’s just 20 minutes away (plus more concessions, more bathrooms, more actual seats you can fit it, etc.). I can see a shift towards a Gampel to XL ratio of 10/8 or even 12/6. Just remember that for a few years, students did not show up even when games were on campus. Performance impact attendance and atmosphere more than the other way around. Let’s also acknowledge that we’re at the tail end of a bad COVID wave before reading too much into attendance and atmosphere at one game. I’m not nearly as loud yelling through a KN95 mask. [/QUOTE]
