Is the ESPN App a dirty rotten liar when it comes to attendance figures?
~2,100 attendance sounds about right for last night.it was definitely a smaller crowd than n Monday, which was still pretty small.
Sounds like about a 2X inflation of the actual… I hope more people come back after we put together some long win streaks.
I hate so many non-basketball things about the Haas experience - that is something the Athletics dept could really look at and improve by fixing little things, like:
- Food: It's horrible. On opening night I paid 17 bucks for a questionable hot dog and a CAN (fountain not working) of soda.
- Sound system. I agree, no need to blast it, we can hear it at 70% of where they have it now (it's not the hearing aids, gas lighters). You ought to be able to have a conversation with the person next to you.
- Yellow jackets. I'm sure they're good, hard-working people, but I hate the way they are trained…. trained to basically hassle good fans over total non-issues like where you sit in a 90% empty arena. They often hassle me about going out on the steps to take in the baseball field and city view, one small pleasure that I've been doing for 20 years. We do not need yellow jackets to outnumber fans in halls, why do they have one every 20 feet?
- The bag check. Tried it once, totally incompetent, never been back.
- Students working renewals just have other things on their minds. My renewal didn't go through even after I told them to re-up. I had to proactively ask, should be tbe other way around.
Sure, this could be just a lot of old dude complaints… or it could be the essence of why the program fell apart. Athletics just doesn't care about the fine points of an enjoyable fan experience. They've lost touch.
