    Re: Attendance - Ideas to improve?

    It's my fault. I'm not a true fan. True fans are the ones who wear wigs, make dumb signs, and then bust on the other students who don't go to games. Those are true fans. Man, I wish I was a true fan. I'm such a false fan.

      Yeah. Don't bother going to games, then. We don't want you!

      On a completely unrelated note, do you have any ideas how we can improve attendance?

        One way to get more fans at BB games

        One Indiana State alum bought 10,000 tickets to the men's and women's games against Drake today, and told the Trees' athletic department to give them away for free.

        Yeah, I know most of the tickets to the men's game were probably already sold for this matchup, and I know they gave him a big discount on the tickets, but this is still a pretty cool move by this guy and the people in charge of ticketing for the Sycamores.

            I'm not a true fan either. Guess I better get booted form PN..

            Maybe you should reconsider your committment to the UNI track team as well, since you aren't a true Panther fan...

              Trump, I'm guessing you are the one who pulled my new thread on this and consolidated it into this thread. I gave it a new thread on purpose because I thought it was a nice story, and didn't want it buried in here with the "You're not a true fan" -- "No, YOU'RE not a true fan" B.S. that this one has deteriorated into.

              Whatever, it doesn't really matter. Just seems like a waste of a good story that will just die in here. . .

                    I'm with you. If only J.C., you, Brian, and I show up, we'll still have a great time at a great venue, watching what should be a tremendous event.

                      The problem is when people say the Panthers need butts in the seats to play well, is that people did that last year, the Creighton and Missouri State games for example, and they didn't win. The crowd was loud and the students' seats were near full for those games.

                        You couldn't buy 10,000 tickets for a UNI mens and womens game I don't think, there aren't that many left for sale. And it wouldn't make a beans worth of difference to the attendence numbers. The announced attendence would be terrific, maybe two sellouts, but the actual attendence not so.

                        The womens tickets are already practicially free, the students tickets are free (with activity fee) and the price of the mens tickets are not what keeps people away.

                        If you offered 10K free tickets to a set of UNI games you might get 750 people to take you up on it. All the good corporate seats would still be empty and the student section would still be bare.

                          6k+ tonight. Good crowd. Students came, id say about 600 tops.

                              students except for the one or two clearly defined Iowa and anti-Panther fans 3 rows behind me. Don't even know why they showed up. Clearly drunk and was very harsh even to our own students.

                              totally put a damper on the fun.

                                Still quite a few empty seats, but over 6k. The crowd was loud when we needed it. I'd love to see it with even more energy, but, baby steps. UNI needs tradition to get a die-hard following. Wins will do that.
