New basketball court side food/bar

. . . baseball already has a lot of fans that are paying but not attending . . . in my row in the grand stand, I am able to spread my 4 out to 7 seats because the next 12 in the row virtually never show up . . . the row below me has about half that show up regularly and the row above me is about the same as mine . . . they better be careful or many of those will quit paying also . . .

Isn't it better to buy a season ticket, even if you know you can't make every game and "write off" the games you don't attend as a donation, then getting a different ticket for the games you can attend and the program can't use your funds for planning

Yeah, but it wasn’t always like this. Part of the reason we built a giant dome was to accommodate a large and passionate fan base.

Yes there used to be more folks attending. Huge number of reasons things no longer that way. Still hustle of team is not a reason people are not showing up. These guys may not always be successful but if Monday night is any indication, it will not be because they don’t play hard.

Mike, i’m pretty sure every NCAA Basketball team plays hard. I have never seen one not play hard. The fan base has been gone for years. It’s not because of the players that the fans are not showing up!

Is it better to play hard or play well?

It seems the effort was even better than usual on Monday. Reason I say this is because the problems they had on offense did not affect their focus on defense. It is very easy to get discouraged when open shots don't fall. You should know that from your playing days. Still, I agree the players are not the reason people are not showing up. There are a multitude of reasons.
