Misleading? BS

Everyone knows the Carrier Dome is the biggest facility.

As far as your little arena oncampus--build a bigger one. Of course , you won't get 20,000 to track into Storrs for a game on a Wednesday night-- you'd still have to play your big games in Hartford. Face it: 33,000>16,000
Hey I am not going to argue. If you want to look at basketball revenue per school, lets include both men and women basketball since women's bball is a revenue generator for UCONN. I think Carrier's Dome is a great place but it was designed for football.

As for 20,000 on campus, why not? I think students will eat those tickets up easily if people dont show up. The problem is parking at UCONN is a freaking nightmare.
Hence my comment about not getting 20,000 to a game on campus at Storrs....BTW, nag basketball is unwatchable
Heh. Calling it 'nag basketball', you would be right at home on the Syracuse Rivals board. You don't by chance happen to post there too, do you? :)

Both Josh and Charlie have said they are coming back. Charlie was on TV saying the other day he is not ready for the NBA yet. Well, things can change quickly with these kids. Charlie is playing well right now, so I would expect him to test the NBA water.

We are bringing top 15 player in Andrew Byrum who is 7 feet tall. He is a monster right now. We also got a 4 in Jeff Adrian and a 3 in Marcus Johnson. Andrew is the only one who made it to the McD game. However, I trust Jim Calhoun's assessment of talent way more than those guys at McD. Remember both Emeka and Ben Gordon were not McD players. That either means UCONN is great at developing players or they were overlooked. I suspect a little bit of both. We also should get our stud recruit AJ Price for next year. AJ did not get off the bench this year due to medical issues.

Either way, UCONN is loaded to the max next year and we should be preseason top 5 if not #1. I hope we make it to St. Louis this year but next year we really will be awesome. If there is a weakness this year, it is depth at PG. If Marcus Williams is hurt or in foul trouble, we could be in trouble.

It will be a fun league next year. I hope we get to play everyone in the league.
It looks like the 20 year age limit is coming very soon to the NBA and that will impact many peoples decisions. Right now I would say Amir Johnson will make the jump to the NBA instead of enrolling at Louisville.

Preseason Number 1 next year will be and I hate to say it Kentucky. They only lose Chuck Hayes and have just about everyone returning for their 3rd ranked club this year. BTW we will still kick their butt at CoRRupt Arena next year.

You sure Kentucky wont be exposed as a fraud just like last year? They play in the overrated SEC. Thank god there is the NCAA tournament and we will find out how good every team is in open competition. I like my Huskies to make another deep run into March. Our team is really geeling.

As for next year, I dont see how Kentucky can be ranked over UCONN with amount of talent we have on hand.

Well I might have to amend that. Talk to my boy who is very well connected at UK and it seems there is trouble on Big Blue Heaven.

Don't be surprised if Shagari Alleyne and Joe Crawford leave the program and one of their other 7 footers going back to Europe.

They will return Patrick Sparks, Rajon Rondo, Randolph Morris, Azuibuike and Bradley. But with those very possible defections they lose most of the depth.

They will be expose not because of lack of talent but because of lack of experience. They have a very young team.

If we had 24,000 seats our attendance would be 24,000.

Believe me we want to build a new Arena.

BTW Louisville if I am not mistaken has a 5 year waiting list for Basketball Season Tickets. If it was 24,000 I am pretty confident we could fill it.

I'd love to see you build it...we need someone to push us higher. We average nearly 30,000 a game in 1989-90, I'd like to see it back up there. The University though charges very high ticket prices (about $20 a tix) to sit 75 yards away--this and TV hurts demand. Still to beat LPT is not a bad thing is it? :laugh: :laugh:

We go $17 and up. The problem is you can pay $17 and literally sit in the opposite endzone corner to watch a BB game happening down on the 10-20 yard line

Not sure what the average is this year, I suspect somewhere around 19,600 if you take out the Austin Peay game where a big snowfall mixed with ice on gameday afternoon only allowed 8,700 to attend. (I was there but the normal 30 minute drive took 1 hr 15 minutes!)

There are 4,000 on the waiting list for season tickets. Plus throw in that for big games there will always be walk-ups.

However, we likely won't ever build anything bigger than 23,500 or so. After that, and maybe before that, you are just creating crappy seats and since we'd only be building for basketball and not football as well we won't put horrible seats in just to put them in.

Just make sure it is a little bigger than LPT's
