I watched the last part of the Cal vs GaTech game. The Cal coliseum was 3/4 empty and it looked like a H.S. gym. The seats were bleachers, looked like a dump.

This said by a group that beats a depleted Stanford team bt 2. Bulletin board material.

The empty gym has looked very sad on TV this season. Especially when they show the "crowd" behind the baskets during free throws. Yes, last night was an early start time, but aside from the Duke and UNC games, most have looked like that. Where are the crowds?

Better a bit, but not good...I suspect when you get Duke/ UNC/UCLA or 'furd they show....And when the wins stack up and it is a place to be the crowds should return...As we mourn the loss of fans think of what Georgetown deals with coming from our same losing tradition over two full classes (8+years), a lousy coach or two and loss after loss combined with playing in the 18000+ Capital Arena---even tougher...

Attendance 6,018. So about half full. Bad, but better than we had been getting against less than top opponents.

Hope we get 8k-9k for Clemson, at those levels Haas looks full.

Get a couple of students a marketing internship with the AD and have them start a campaign targeting greeks, dormies and sport fan students. Revive midnight madness with free food, party atmosphere and maybe a musical act to go with the Cal band. Market Cal hoops as a fun, affordable family outing with cutrate season tickets for new subscribers. Target local transplant alums from colleges with BB tradition, starting with the thousands of UNC, Duke alumni who showed up at Haas...

Cal AD has been pathetic there.

A 5pm Wednesday start against a last-place team? Crowd wasn't too bad.

But what about the student section? They are on campus already and most classes are done. There is something broken for sure.

We are in the ACC and no longer playing in-state schools other than the trees or anybody else on the West Coast, when we beat the bear runts in Chase we got a good crowd given the venue but half the kids on campus probably don't even know where Clemson is

If we continue to win, surely the fans will start coming out in increasing numbers, but what we really need right now is some sort of "jump start": a special player, a really special game, a bid to March Madness, something. Maybe if we had some crazy promotion to attract students... and then that game turned out to be amazing, they would develop the habit of attending.

FWIW, anybody heard the last couple renditions of the National Anthem, they probably aren't coming back for more of that.

The Straw Hat Band rendition is good, we don't get that enough.

That description sounds a lot more like Maples than Haas. We had a decent crowd last night for a Wednesday 5pm game.

Last night's attendance was helped by them giving out free tickets for Cal faculty and staff, which they do for one game each season.

Well, I was a kid on campus 49 years ago and I still don't know (or care) where Clemson is.

Where were they giving these out? I was at the game and entered through the front entrance of Haas, but I didn't get one.

They are Note books with lined pages. Perfect size.

They remind me of the Moleskin note books and had blue and white ones

They were giving them out in the open space right after you walked through the doors

They were giving them out off to the right side in the lobby by the main entrance. It was only supposed to be one or two thousand of them, but they still had them when we arrived right around 5. Ours were white.

I'm not happy that it's Friday and there's been absolutely nothing done to pack Haas tomorrow. Somebody needs to be fired.
