UCF attendance

[Treadway21]

Seriously? Another attendance thread? Place was 90% full. Suites and Red Seats always have open spots and they are amplified since the are by the floor and lit up.

Go watch other teams arenas and you will be a little more realistic.

Agreed the team deserves a full house, but it is not going to happen every game.

100%

How are the uniforms?

Thought they looked pretty good.

And the in game presentation was good too.

attendance reported as 6,952 which means every seat in Moody was sold. It wouldn't matter if we had shrunk Moody to 6,000 seats in the remodel. There would still be several ticket holders who had something better to do and would not give their tickets to someone who would appreciate having the opportunity to see a game live. Moody is and always has been a great environment with about 5,000 in attendance...but back to the original post, I agree it would be nice if all the lower level seats were filled because this team deserves that support and it would make SMU look good on these TV games. It's all about having the reputation as an incredibly hostile environment for the visitors. There was a time back in the SWC era when our student section looked like Duke's in those courtside bleachers. Even back then, though, there were very few games the student section would be packed and you would have to stand the entire game (will always remember the Nebraska game the year we were co-champs with Texas). Maybe someday if SMU can build a bball tradition as strong as Duke??? We can dream, can't we?

I think our student section is stronger louder and more fun right now than it has ever been in our history for basketball.

I assume you are young and weren't around for our SWC days when we also put a Top 10 team on the court

Really sucks. You can't hear the people cheering from their homes

[Pony_Law]

Can't comment how it was in the past but now students stand for the whole game and do a decent job. Not quite at peak due to the Mob rules but nothing to really complain about.

I'm sure Moody already has a reputation as being a tough place to play among any college coach when they think about an upcoming game or even just scheduling us.

Good to know we can still find things to complain about when things are the best they've ever been for this program.

Baylor's Ferrel Center against Oklahoma State with a minute and change to go in the first half. These tickets were 10 bucks on SH too...

Would ya Centex?

Lol. They don't serve beer at the Ferrel center so I'm gonna say no....throw the booze into the mix and it becomes a toss up

A lot of the guys in the red seats have both suites and seats below. They spend half the game in the suite and the other half in the red seats. For the bigger games I am sure they give suite tickets to friends and sit below.

sucks for today's students that they took most of the courtside seats away from them, but the economics of the game has changed

[Cort]

It would look better on TV if they gave all of the students the bleachers across the entire bleachers and then moved the family/university tickets to the opposite baseline.

Most conferences have rules about student section being located directly behind the opposing teams benches. so they would have to move the benches to the opposite side which would take away Turner/Miller/GWs seats away. They would not want to sit right in front of the students so this will never happen.

[Pony_Law]

Not to mention they like selling Floor seats which your plan eliminates a huge chunck of.

How are the uniforms?

Since you asked, I like this combo better. Our same colors but I think the name in blue with the red numbers really pops on the white unis.
