Oct 31, 2022: Fran brings up putting Students behind the Benches (Beth wants students around the court). Future Renovation of Carver-Hawkeye Arena?

[Franisdaman]

Yep. I remember Carver in the 80s and 90s. Place was rocking. Maybe Carver isn't as conducive to noise as the old fieldhouse (never had the chance to go to a game there) but IMO it is not a CHA problem, but a fanbase problem. I believe that firmly.

I think people are still watching; I just don't know how you get butts in the seats, especially during the week when it's much easier to watch from home

How can we find how many tickets were scanned?

With the B1G season starting tonight, attendance hopefully improves.

Hopefully both the announced attendance and scanned tickets (actual butts in the seats) are good numbers.

How full do you guys think CHA will be for the B1G home opener tonight?

Will the students finally show up?

Judging by the seats still available on the ticketing website, there won't be 8500 tickets sold. So actual attendance probably 7000

students storming the floor!

7698 was the paid attendance. So likely 6000-6500 actually there

I don't doubt your numbers but watching on TV it seemed like it was more than that.

Maybe folks were putting their coats on empty seats ?

They seem to dim the lights over the seats, so it makes it hard to see if seats are full
