Attendance

[Nildogg]

I must point out that Xavier's "average" exceeds the capacity of the building by 31 fans a game. Cintas was packed to the rafters from season start...and there will be a couple of hundred new seats added in the off season with a new balcony that will extend over the student section. We love us some college basketball in Ohio.

And very proud to be in this league.

The balcony will definitely improve the look/feel of Cintas if they do it right. I hate arenas that have that huge flat wall along one end; makes it just feel incomplete or something. Reminds me of the Nutter Center for Wright State of our Horizon days.

X should do well in the good years; what else is there to do in Cincinnati?

Sez the guy from "Nap"town?

Also Nova playing most of their games on campus this year because of the NCAA Tourney hurts their overall numbers.

Did they have to give up dates for the Sixers?

They don't want to play more than I think 4 games downtown when the NCAAs are in Philly so it is not considered a home court. That way they can play NCAA games in Philly.

Hmm. Never realize that was a thing.

You play 4 games there, it's considered your home court. That's why Villanova only played 3 games.

Marquette peaked in 2008 averaging 16,239 and 2009 with 16,200 so clearly there's either less competition for basketball fans in Nebraska or the in game experience is just that much better at the stadium.

We haven't had attendance this poor since the CUSA in 2005. Hopefully the new arena will bring back some people.

The donation sections that started in 2005, going up big in cost every two years didn't help. Upper deck seats priced to high, when staying home and the HD world that really took off in 2007'ish kept people at home.

Winning and the new arena will help!

I was at the championship game last night. Congrats to Seton Hall. Regardless of what the numbers were, the place was PACKED and LOUD. It was a great atmosphere. Big East is alive and well.
