IIRC, in Marlin's first year, the last home game of the year was against Denver and there were over 8,000 in attendance. It is a shame that THIS TEAM will not have that recognition.

7 years of apathy and 2 things I think are killing attendance and both have to do with cost...concession prices and closing the upper deck no longer allows people to buy cheap
Seats.

Official attendance for last night was only 4307. Very dissapointing, to say the least. And although I'd love to see 6K tomorrow night, doubt we get more than 5500.

Concession prices don't keep me from going to the games, but the weak beer selection and high prices means I drink beer in the parking lot before the game and during halftime

The beer selection at football and baseball games blows away the crap currently available at the dome.

I think having the top closed hurts attendance more than concession prices.

There are still cheap seats, they are behind the goal, opposite of the student section. I believe they are $10.

Why? Aren’t the seats behind the goals now the cheap seats? What are the differences in prices?

I think people with young ones don’t see it as worth it anymore.

And there aren't the fans for this game that there was for that one. It is just a different day for college basketball.
