Devries Magic! Sold out arenas!

I think college bb attendance is probably down overall cept for the hotbeds.
That’s a “sellout” at Carver 😜
A new generation- so many more things to do and spend money/time on. Just look at student sections. Yes, there are exceptions.
I was suprised that the Maryland away game was about half full too, suprising for a top 25 team.
I dont want him at Iowa now. But I will change my mind if they win their next game. I will change back if I hear something negative.
When I went to college the dorms didn’t have cable and the internet didn’t exists. Lots of students went to games because it beat the hell out of watching rabbit ears local TV or studying.
Those days are over. You need to win now.

It’s West Virginia.
If it doesn’t have to do with NASCAR or inbreeding, I’m guessing most aren’t interested.
My Freshman year at Iowa, could only get a half season student ticket due to the high demand.
As you noted, there was no internet and basketball was a bigger deal.
Not sure the attendance will go up that much when Fran is gone, it does seem like it will not go up if Fran stays.
I would consider letting students in free, but, not sure they would go even then with the current status of the program
That's a very broad-minded take. You should be proud.
Many arenas are in need of modernization. You have to invest in your product to expect to continue to see return. Concessions and food options are one thing that are overdue for upgrades at many arenas. Even if it is at a high cost, there needs to be some legit meal options like you see nice movie theatres offering. No different than you have much better options at professional arenas now.
Service shouldn't just be unpaid volunteers; there's too much money from media deals to but running these like high schools. Great idea for the student discounted beer. But looked like they didn't know what they're doing with staffing again and it took 30 minutes to get a drink... AD should be embarrassed of how that went.
The cup holders on the premium seats low to the court just have a big gapping hole, i assume only to fit big plastic soda cups? No idea but kind of ridiculous. I saw someone try to put their tall boy in it and fall straight to the floor haha.
It'd be nice if Iowa would buy up some more land where housing is and demo it into additional closer parking. Some of the carver parking is nearly a ten minute walk, good luck asking folks to do that in February at -10 degrees at 8pm.
