No one was complaining about anything, besides the game not being a sell out. Although, my words were twisted that way, as I excepted they would.

My point was/is it's going to be difficult selling the bleacher seats night in and night out. I'm not sure how many rows of bleachers there are, but it was more than 6 (Probably closer to 16). You simply can not see up there. It's not worth the time or money, unless you simply just want to be in the arena. Just some honest feedback. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Bolded, oh I agree with you on that and it seems UC isn't unique in that regard. Streaming or cable offer better viewing and coverage (and cheaper beer ) so it's not surprising I guess that the attraction of "being there" just isn't what it used to be. I'm not sure of the student capacity of Nippert in recent years but it's packed and has to be double that of 5th/3rd. If so, why not actively market the top six as student/student guest overflow at a modest price to completely fill the place. More noise, more energy, and more revenue with filled seats which mean more food, beverage, and apparel sales too.

What was the official attendance yesterday?
