Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 4242509, member: 591"] I was at the 2014 UTEP - Rutgers game in El Paso. Watched 12,180 fans fall silent. Only Rutgers fans were the team comps, and except for our couple of rows behind the bench seating was all general admission - apparently there was an awesome "run" in. There was a religious revival scheduled for the arena, but the preacher agreed to move outside for the day to permit the game. Remember, for the WNIT, you are actually bidding dollars to the organization that runs it. Arizona had the 6 home games, and at the point where it was "doubtful" that we would host, the athletic department sweetened the offer by adding in concessions. The payoff was the huge crowds, larger every round, and generating interest (and season tix) for the future. [/QUOTE]
