When you lose to Stanford that stops momentum, dasher is right by a thousand percent

On this topic, read a few posts on the dome from some of the few UConn fans who came to the dome.
One hated the pee troughs. The rest thought they were fine.
They liked the scoreboards. Disliked the narrow concourses. Really liked the grab and go stands. Some wished UConn had something like that.
Weirdly, made no comments on the new seating or the 5g blazing fast cell service. Maybe they didn’t have phones.

They’re not used to good cell phone service in CT so I don’t blame them for that.
Also there were CT fans there? Their section seemed empty.

They were in the men’s room admiring the troughs
Really? That was game 3.

Must’ve been a glitch, cuz I just looked and there’s plenty of tix still available.

It’s ok to admire but don’t stare

No way this comes close to selling out. Too many to move in a few days. Drop them to $20 each and they’ll move. No one wants a silly $10 GC to Wegmans with their ticket as a “deal”.

Interacting with fans has to be the worst part of the job. Talking to players’ parents has to suck too. God bless him!

No. He will leave. Lack of Fan support is what is going to cost us Fran.

I heard this with Dino and now with Fran. Look…. Winning will solve this issue. The P era had great attendance…um, wonder why, in a 50k stadium.
We are now a 42k stadium. Just win, attendance will take care of itself.

We are 8-3. Playing in the biggest game in years. Fan base is beyond weak

In years past, we would always say a coach who gets us to 8-9 wins consitently, we would put up a statue of him on campus. But I think it's a lot harder for the casuals to see how rare this season is. Hence why we have Wegmans gift cards and 2 for one fb/gtown deals in a 43k seat Dome

I see a lot of ppl on this board who suggest we have a 'core base of die hards' of 32-35 k season ticket holders. I think that number is actually closer to 28-30k. Add the 3-6k students (depending on opponent and time), then the maybe 2k a game casuals, and we are at what weve been all year, 35-39k sans uconn game.
Using those numbers, assuming maybe 500-800 students show up saturday, getting to 39- 40k would actually be fairly impressive. It would mean almost 8-9k casuals, which would be 7k more than most games.
It still sucks we cant get a couple more k in the door and fill it up. Its just too hard a sell for too many casuals to reach the numbers, due to myriad of reasons we all discuss here regarding shting the bed time and time again, that we need to sell out.
That's my attempt at breaking down attendance #s. It all boils down to our 'die hard' base not being as big as is commonly assumed. But what do I know.

Yep. Yep. And yep. And that one operative word not having occurred yet, is the sole reason why attendance threads even exist. Casuals wont be swayed en masse until that 'word' becomes a reality. Crapping the bed saturday would be a really big pin stabbing the proverbial balloon in changing the narrative needed to not have attendance threads. Cant keep having casuals walking out of the Dome saying 'same old, 'same old.
