Basketball Attendance

[Swamp]

The thing is that on days like YESTERDAY we should still be able to report 2,000+ in attendance. Why? Because of SEASON TICKETS. Look at baseball when they play a travel day game at 10 AM. Seats may be empty, but we still sell 3,000+ tickets to those games. I personally have zero faith in Bryan Maggard to fix this situation.

All season ticket holders were included in yesterday’s 914 number, regardless if they were at the game or not. Thats the problem. Too few season ticket holders. Even if you were the sole attendee at the Dome yesterday, there’s no excuse for having to report less than 2,000.

YESTERDAY.All my troubles seemed so far awaygreat song. Great song.

Still of the opinion that we should've had more than 1,000 yesterday. Softball had ended before tipoff. No parades. Super Bowl was still 3.5 hours from kickoff at the time.

It's just apathy at this point.

Butts in seats were few and far between YESTERDAY because of Mardi Gras and Super Bowl.

Reported attendance was less than 1,000 yesterday because we sold a putrid number of SEASON TICKETS.

Well, for one game next season y’all will have over 6000 fans, thanks to McNeese’s return trip. We’ll bring 4k of those for you.

I'll just throw it out there although I'm sure nothing can be done about it. For me, a big part of the issue is the officiating. Given the increasing physical nature of the game, the officiating has become highly subjective. I can't stand watching a game (seemingly, not infrequent) where there is a foul called nearly every minute (i.e. around 30-40 fouls/game). turns into a free throw shooting contest. Incredibly boring and frustrating to watch.

Would you prefer game get even more physical then, and the bruisers win?

Nice try. Our low attendance numbers was your average until Will Wade showed up. When he leaves in a year or two, your numbers will be back to where it was.

[R1Letterman]

Wow. That might be worse than the mcneese/tsab powerbrokers hiring WW, but the fans giving him more support? Yikes

[Mr. Big Shot]

Na it’s the truth, McNeese will be the biggest attended game next season. Come on 6k?

McNeese fans should never talk to us about attendance in anything. Outside of this one year in basketball, no one goes to any of their games.

I don't know about actual numbers but I expect it to be the high point as well.

The Acadiana based game is right beertween WW's old and new stopping grounds.

Might even draw some of his old fans.

That's a good question. I don't know what the solution is. it's just the nature of the game with bigger more physical atheletes, I guess. Consistency is key for fairness. but man, it's painful to hear the whistle stop play every freakin' minute. That's all I'm saying.
