Attendance

[BLWarrior91]

What is it going to take for Marquette to sell out weeknight games?  They are the #14 team in the nation playing Villanova.  We play an exciting style of basketball.  Yet tonight's attendance was only 13,344. We drew crowds that size when Dukiet was the coach the first year at the BC.

Why does Creighton draw better than Marquette?  I know there's nothing to do in Omaha but there's more people in Milwaukee and Marquette is a bigger school with a bigger basketball tradition.

The marketing department needs to get that building filled.  Shaka and the team are certainly doing their part.

Every time I bring up marketing issues, I'm told the professionals at Marquette know what they're doing. Sold a lot of upper deck tickets to people disguised as empty seats.

How hard could it be to sell another 4000 tickets? 

Empty seats aren't intimidating to the opposition.

You should have saved this bitch for when we play X in a few weeks.
Dukiet had similar crowds? Hmmm

[brewcity77]

On the upside, Shaka did say that when he looked at the corners of Wintrust on Saturday, he was reminded of Al and selling out the building. So I guess he's doing his job in Chicago.

I couldn't believe how many empty seats there were in the student section. They should never need the tarps for conference games.

I hate the band.

To be completely blunt the fiserv forum is located in a crap hole city. Myself like many others refuse to go downtown due to stolen vehicles. Has little to do imo with the product in the court. Also the overprice of concessions milking every dollar for the fans doesn't help either imo.

People don't want to have their ears blasted for 2.5 hrs. with 120 decibels of Pitbull when they can watch at home. Seriously, games at FF are almost unwatchable with all the NBA stadium bs going on, very noticeable tonight with a smaller crowd.

I don't think your vehicle is at risk since all the dentists are inside the stadium.

They should bring back the pre-game $2 nachos and the $3 Haams special on weeknights.  Was that in the last year of the BC? 

The fans loved it.  It couldn't hurt.

Absurd.

Show up and support your team.

I get it, sometimes it's easier to just avoid the dangerous city with the loud noises, but cmon.

Not true.
You better lock your doors

I had my car stolen last year during the ncaa tournament and I haven't gone down since for a game because of this. Freaking Hyundai

Haha.....it has been a unnatural carnal knowledgeing unbelievable season at the Fiserv this year. For those who bitch and bitch and bitch and then stop bitching to tell you they have it so better at their bar/home.....whatever. Im so glad to have experienced last weekend at Wintrust....and every game at FF. Wouldn't trade it for anything.

It's a fact that the best crowd all year was UCONN when the students were gone. Their impact is overrated.

A fact.....how do they gauge "best crowd"? Not by attendance apparently...its a fact jack.

Then name a better one...

 Watching at home is no comparison to being there in person. 

I enjoyed the Tues night Seton Hall game so much this year, I wasn't even pissed when I got back to my car and my window was smashed.

I laughed way to hard at this man. My condolences.

You know things are going good when we are complaining about the crowd. It was lighter than I expected, but I think that's the way of the world now.

[warriorchick]

Since becoming a snowbird, the one thing I miss is being able to attend Marquette games in person.

Exactly......but you should have bitched about it.......to somebody somewhere...on scoop.. or your neighbors.

I was at the game bud. I suppose if more people showed up they wouldn't have to blast us all with terrible music and whatnot. Serious question, do you enjoy all that trash that they do during timeouts?
