Attendance

Can anyone summarize this thread for me or should I read all 9 pages?

Summary:

MU's marketing department sucks and should strive to be Dayton's, Creighton's, or DePaul's.

It is a level-headed, focused discussion on attendance at Marquette basketball games.  I envision everyone was seated on velour chairs, smoking pipes, while typing their brilliant and logical prose.

People are scared of the big city and people are also super cheap and don't buy beer at the games

not surprisingly, your assumption is wrong.

If you think Milwaukee voting is going to change statewide shared revenue, you are completely clueless.

[Galway Eagle]

Most of those cities have a fairly larger metro area and population than Milwaukee.

Milwaukee does have a streetcar, and nobody uses it.  It was totally pointless.  And there are buses without much overcrowding for those who need to use public transportation.  There's not really a need for a light rail in Milwaukee.  You can drive anywhere and find parking anywhere pretty easily at pretty much any time of day and year.

That is, if you don't get shot.

Agree most of those are bigger, but some aren't and he forgot cinci.

The HOP is pointless, it goes nowhere. If they'd gone out to UWM, or MU, or to Potawatomi, or to Bayview I'm confident it'd get used but no they did a circle where almost the whole thing was walkable anyways.

Car mentality is what killed cities in the first place. Watch some strong towns and not just bikes, some fascinating stuff on urban decay and city planning.

again you drive out of your lane with assumptions. We should meet for a beer and discuss. Somewhere here there's a disconnect.

Old, white guy wishes he were young again and doesn't understand the dynamics of the modern world

A lot of folks on scoop love to assume things and have no problem running with assumptions.

One assumption that cracks me up is that you Mrs. 4ever never leave Mequon and stay clear of downtown MKE. Little do they know.

Well obviously she wants to stay as far as away from 4ever as long as possible, can't blame her.

I was walking into the Fiserv today to two fans talking about how gas was $1.00 under Trump. It was then that I realized what 4ever meant when he said the Deer District was dangerous.

Surprised you did not figure out what they meant. They were obviously talking about flatulence.

What was the attendance last night?

[GoFastAndWin]

What was the attendance last night?

Box score from espn had it just over 16,000.

[BLWarrior91]

Best weeknight crowd this season.  Lets sell out the two training home games which are both Saturdays!

Looked more like 14k to me, which was disappointing.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Paid Attendance- 16,041

[We R Final Four]

It was a great crowd....early game on a Wednesday its not going to fill.
Scoopers will bitch about anything.

Place filled in during the starting lineups which happened about at 6:01. People did pretty well getting to their seat on time.

Energy in the building was outstanding by everyone. Plus, it was clean.

Another thing I hate about games on CBS Sports is that the crowd noise always seems muted.

Maybe, I see that on ESPNU boardcast as well. Everything is always louder in person than TV.

I still think they count for a real wins and losses though.

Noticed that too on the rewatch. The FS1 games are usually really good with the crowd noise. Probably because CBSSN wants to ensure they get Gillen yelling "screen and then get it to the big man" for the 100th time.

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.
