This thread may surprise 'yarders because I have supported increased attendance in the past. But yesterday's game was so boring I had a chance to think about the almost 8000 fans who were there. I realized that the average WBB game attendance is much smaller. Let's call it around 2700 with about 100 fans for the visiting team. That leaves 2600 for the home team. Now a WBB team can have up to 15 scholarship players, but for sake of agument let's make the average 13. All fans of a team usually have a favorite player so that means each player has 200 fans rooting for her. These are numbers you just can't argue with.
Everyone on this board believes that Uconn is 3 times better than the other WBB teams. BUT UCONN ONLY HAS 9 SCHOLARSHIP PLAYERS. Each one should have 600 fans rooting for her. Therefore UConn only needs 5400 fans for each game. Again numbers you can't argue with. What to do with the other fans (after 5400) who might come to a game? They should tailgate in the parking garages. The food there will be much better than at the game anyway.
