Attendance

[JakeBarnes]

I’ve poked fun at the quips directed towards the marketing department however I think we all need to recognize truly how remarkable it is that this small university can get almost 17k through the door on a weekday night for a game. When the program is humming, MU is always one of the top in the country in total attendance. Really impressive to see Shaka get things back to where they should be at MU in such quick fashion.

The fanbase is passionate. People want to be around that energy (unless the dj is too loud) when they are at a game.

What was the attendance last night?

There’s no way to know

[MUfan12]

Zero complaints about that crowd last night.

Last two home games very close to sellout territory. Giddy up.

Quite simply, our marketing department is Shaka Smart, hey?

Shaka had high praise for the crowd on the post-game with Homer and TSmith

Shaka is the marketing department. He is bigger than the just being the head coach, he is now the face of Marquette University.

Despite all the bitching on this board, we are certainly a top 5 in attendance in these categories:

1. Teams located in a metro area with an NBA team
2. Attendance as a percentage of undergraduate enrollment
3. Teams playing in arenas that charge $13 for a beer


I think we are doing just fine.

[MUfan12]

With that crowd last night, plus two games that are close to sold out, MU should average over 14,000 for the season, despite having to play a game at the Al. Not too shabby.

Don't tell Lovell that.

It was great to see Jerel there. He’s been pretty vocal of his support online. I think he’s doing a lot with the Chicago basketball community.

Sorry, it's been a couple of years for me.   :'(

Giving up my season tickets is far and away the worst part about being a snowbird.

The reports of Marquette’s death have been greatly exaggerated

NMD was an official sellout

Lovell knows it.  This is why Shaka is the highest paid employee on campus.  They know the value a strong basketball program brings to the university.

You mean besides the voters, the selection committee, the announcers and the referees?

That list is way to small.

[cheebs09]

That list is way to small.

Are you complaining about the list now?!?

[Its DJOver]

Are you complaining about the list now?!?

If it'll make the list longer, you bet I am. Need at least a dozen things to rail on at any given time.  Why don't we take more mid-range shots?

[tower912]

And why don't we have a decent back up center.    Why couldn't Shaka land one?

I can't believe you left the FF concessions off the list...  it's like all my efforts are wasted here or something!

Tickets probably all bought by the sweater vest brigade. Will sit on their hands the entire time.
