Bill_Ken R Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 The box score on the SLU website shows attendance as 6, 152. Does anyone know if that is actual attendance or tickets sold? In the past my understanding was that attendance was given in tickets sold. I thought we had sold more season tickets than that. I understand that people do not find this an attractive game.

kshoe Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 The attendance figure this year are tickets scanned at the gate. It is not the same as past seasons at the Savvis. We walked through the main entrance at 6:45 and there were more than a few people buying tickets at the window. Maybe its the cheaper prices, maybe people just wanted to do something other than watch MU get slaughtered, but there were at least a few walk-ups.

I thought there would be more students there considering it was a saturday night game but they were playing Savannah State... Were you expecting more people to be there last night? I couldnt really tell if that was a good crowd or not considering the Mizzou game and how cold it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redbirdfan Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 To increase attendance I think we should build a tunnel from the C Arena to the garage. Offer shuttle service from Laclede Garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt really tell if that was a good crowd or not considering the Mizzou game and how cold it was we have always had fair weather fans-even at $25 a ticket and up; the fact that people have tickets for more than 15 games a season means they only come out when the weather is fine or indoor parking like the old Keil-a brisk walk across campus doesn't do it for our older crowds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RB2.0 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 we have always had fair weather fans-even at $25 a ticket and up; the fact that people have tickets for more than 15 games a season means they only come out when the weather is fine or indoor parking like the old Keil-a brisk walk across campus doesn't do it for our older crowds Students no longer have an excuse not to come to the games. $10 a ticket is very little to ask, especially compared to other schools. The arena is RIGHT ON CAMPUS!! Of course, as with all sports, the better we do, the more student fans come out. The BC game was AWESOME. If only we could have that type of crowd the entire season. The student section was rockin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The student section was rockin. There are plenty of folks who guaranteed that the on-campus arena would immediately draw students to the games. I think it's improving, but it's pretty hard to overturn decades of student apathy. Winning games is the most important thing that can happen. Everything else is secondary.

Box and Won Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Final exams start this week so that explains why a lot of students may not have shown up I love this excuse. I don't know anyone who studied on Saturday night before finals week. I can see not showing up during finals week, but come on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistol Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I love this excuse. I don't know anyone who studied on Saturday night before finals week. I can see not showing up during finals week, but come on. I'm with you. I was always looking for reasons to take a two-hour break, but certainly didn't need one on Saturday night. This one doesn't even require leaving campus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I have three finals today. I know community college finals are a bit easier than SLU finals but come on! I went to Kentucky for the volleyball and the men's game and still was able to study sufficiently for my exams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I went to Kentucky for the volleyball . -are you to blame?? -were there really only 600 people there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billikenfan05 Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 HAHAH They had a 1-1 record in road games I attended before the Michigan game. There weren't many people there. There was an outstanding Saint Louis following there. Michigan's Libero was unbelievable. She was the single reason they won in my opinion. SLU played great except for their serving which was.. less than stellar. The SLU crowd(including myself) was extremely rowdy while the michigan fans looked like SLU Basketball fans.
