Well we ranked third in the A-10 in attendance last year, by a wide margin. The teams that did better were Dayton, which is three times larger than UR, and VCU, which is almost eight times as big. Occasional typo or not, somebody must be doing something right.

1. You can buy season tickets because they are so affordable and if you don't show for half of the games, you still feel like you are getting more than your moneys worth.
2. We overstate attendance, tickets sold vs. butts in the seat. Attendance for Saturday's game was listed at 5,500. That corresponds to a 3/4 full arena. The Robins Center was at most half full on Saturday (with a good showing from VMI fans as well).
3. We are very unique that we have a large population to draw from, cheap tickets, and no other competition from competing sporting events in the town. VCU has priced itself out of the casual/family market and they can because they win and demand for their tickets sets those prices. So, literally, you can't get a cheaper Saturday night entertainment than what we have going at the RC.

So, yes our attendance is pretty good if you look at the box scores of what we put out. But I'd like to see a comparison on revenue from ticket sales vs. other programs. Because I believe we simply low ball ticket prices to get people in the seats.

I couldn't care less about the revenue. We're not some poor program accepting every buy game just so we can afford new basketballs. Money isn't our issue. If we win enough, demand will improve. Until then, I don't care if we charge $1 per ticket. I want the best gameday experience possible.

Oh, I could care less about revenue as well. But you are right, if we win enough, demand will improve. Well, 20 years into the 56% experiment in winning says that isn't happening. Our attendance and ticket prices are just 2 more symptoms of the disease.

Also, don't forget we took about over 2,500 seats out of the Robins Center during Mooney's tenure as well, and still can't sell it out like we used to or charge the going rate for major D-1 college basketball.

Me too. Right now we have frequently malfunctioning video boards, misspelled players names, a losing team, and our halftime entertainment nearly every game is a scrimmage between 11 year olds. It's not a very captivating event to be a part of this season.
