Indiana game attendance?

[WestFairO]

Does SU release ticket sales before games? Any guesses on attendance?

Also, any clue who will announce the game on ESPN2?

 

[BigNastyJon]

I think about 15,000 (at best).

Attendance at both football and basketball have been bad. And that was before basketball got smoked by Colgate, VCU and Auburn.

Tack on the fact that it’s a 7pm Tuesday game following a busy weekend for folks, I don’t have much confidence in people showing up.

Tm map looks like maybe 20k sold if even right now

The season finale of La Brea is tomorrow.

So there's a chance I can sneak into Adam Weitsman's seats?

I didn't know he was a big fan of LA Brea.

The Dome is going to look more and more empty until a change is made.

I actually had rooms booked for Louisville and Duke. Cancelled them both. I have some other major travel plans in January and March and figure I could save a little cash not going to Syracuse for something that just isn't super enjoyable.

That's the saddest part of what is happening. Losing is one thing, being, borderline, unwatchable is another. This program is teetering on being irrelevant.

The good news is that it doesn't take much to change perceptions in basketball. Look what Oats has done in a very short time. Hurley and UConn are probably a better analogy though.

This isn't turning around with Boeheim at the helm.

Agreed. It'll take a new coach, and probably a whole new regime, but Red or Gerrry will get a chance.

Sure, everyone wants to see Cuse go undefeated at home but part of the Dome experience is also about the level of competition. Indiana has a potential 1st team AA coming to the Dome that those who choose not to attend will miss out seeing live. Duke has a potential #1 NBA draft pick plus one of the last games in Coach K's career. I want to see Banchero play in person. See how good he really is.

Not sure if announced but Cory Alexander and Anish Schroff doing the Iowa vs UVA on the deuce right now. Could be them tomorrow in Syracuse.

 

[Trueblue25]

Hopefully the students show out in mass. The ticket map doesn’t look awful. Id say 18-20 actuals

There’s going to be no real attendance issues this year despite what anyone thinks. Have heard this take in other years too.

There are still people worried about COVID though.

There’s 8 Saturday games and I still know people looking for tickets.

Excellent! I'm already in for the Duke game (plus Nova and Georgetown) but haven't made any other decisions yet for home games.

Besides those who are basketball dire hards the casual fan has no idea who those guys are. With all the recent 1 and done's I don't think people are showing up to see a heralded player unless cbb gets another zion.

With that being said Indiana is still a name, couple that with coming off COVID and the sweet 16 I'd guess they had no problem selling a boat load of tickets in the off season. Football had respectable attendance coming off a 1-10 season.

Most people aren't really following basketball until football ends anyways. I doubt the Dome will have much of a noticeable change in attendance unless things really begin to sputter.

I love Red and Gerry, but assuming we stay at this level….I just don’t know if you can do that?

If the program was rolling at 2009-14 levels, I could see going for continuity. Tough to justify when we’re mediocre.

At the same time, the family aspect of the program where alumni are always coming back - that’s something special and I don’t want to lose that. Wish Hop would win some games at Washington so he could be the guy.

I can’t believe he’ll ever be the guy. He loves the west coast.

Perhaps this sentiment has been expressed more than once on the Mike Hopkins thread, which I have never read?

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Didn’t take long for these threads on the hoop side. Good lord. Just ridiculous

Hop loves the west coast? Where are you getting that info? That feels like some kind of inference you’re making based on no evidence whatsoever. He’s from Southern California but he spent most of his post high school years on the East Coast. And all of his deep recruiting connections are on the East coast.

How can anyone make the assertion that UConn is back 7 games into a season after Hurley has won 50 games his first 3 seasons and over that time we have won 56? I mean this is jumping to conclusions. They started 7-1 last year too and finished 15-8.

Football has ended - for us.
