WTF Manuel- Pasqualoni has single-handedly made the michigan game a nonevent

So that means we had bad coaching every year since 2005.

If we are winning we may break 28,000 season's tickets. We don't have the drivers to create a fan base. A thriving regional economy and alumni that flock back to games every year.

Every program in the country experienced lower ticket sales after 2007.

Meanwhile Iowa had its lowest attendance in a decade.

Only 64,000

Nope, doesn't mean that at all. It's not the argument i made, and it's not what the graphs suggest.

I've seen your type of argument be proven wrong time and time again, all over the country, in many different sports

and for the record, I would purchase 4 seats myself, so I'm speaking from 1st hand experience

If we were 8-4 the last two years how many more season's tickets would have been sold? 5,000? And that gets us into the Big1G. Not likely.

I have purchased tickets to EVERY game. That won't change. Unless the place is rocking every week don't look for an invite.

Just out of curiosity, I would love to see this graph overlaid with the average cost of the tickets.

I know that would be a difficult task, because one would have to figure out all of the three-game packages, etc. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that UConn has increase pricing over this drop in attendance, rather than keeping it constant or lowering it. There has to be other factors in this besides success, since we don't see a boost to the number after the Fiesta Bowl and we don't see a boost in average attendance after we shared the BE title in 2007 in average attendance (although to be fair, the season tickets did go up). I'm guessing price / economy is perhaps the biggest contributor, and if so, the UConn administration had better wake up to the need to adjust the friggin' prices...

They need to lower ticket prices.
