UConn Game

- Start date
If the season continues on this path, I believe the last game of regular season will have the upper tier open vs SJU. That could be a madhouse if the team takes care of business. At the end of the day the lower bowl should have a nice crowd against UConn. The 8pm start on a Tuesday hurts the families that bring their kids.
Very few seats seem available in regular seating area. The deal being run is to fill out student section, often schools run these types of discounts during break for student section seats, friend at SJ went to game at MSG the other day on similar type student section discount.
Thanks for ruining today's episode of "The Blame Game"!
When I was at the Providence game on 12/19 their student sections had plenty of students as well as numerous HS groups & youth basketball organizations.
Like I said earlier, there is a marketing issue. It should be swell having Uconn fans dominating our student section. For some reason, their fans don't mind 8PM games.

Very interesting, since in fact tickets are available for tonight’s UConn at PC game. Guess the numerous HS groups and youth basketball organizations can’t make it.
I was at that game too and thought it was not a good turn out for the PC students. I sat in the upper tier and could have moved way down and sat behind the basket. I went to that game the last two years and it was completely packed but on 12/19 right before Christmas the crowd was OK but I was not impressed. I guess two different perspectives but we won.
How many Uconn fans do you predict are going to fill our arena on a Tuesday night at 8pm? The vast majority of them live in CT; we're not talking about the Big East Tournament.
If UConn fans were looking to come in large numbers, both regular seating and student section would already be sold out. While I expect more UConn fans than Creighton fans, not expecting they will dominate the crowd.
Attendance was 11,789. Not a sell out.
Maybe PC could have reached out to more high school and rec teams like you suggest.
Honestly, I'm surprised attendance has been as good as it has. We won 7 games last year and haven't cracked the top 25 this year. The are plenty of other things commanding ordinary sports fans' attention in this area .
...and not my Devils, either. I don't pay much attention, but I don't think the Knicks are having a year like last year, either.
They tend to show up pretty well even in these circumstances. Credit to their lawyers for negotiating such generous terms of parole.
I just got an email from my daughters CYO about group tickets for the game
