Re: Attendance?

[Madhusudhan Gurumurthy]

Actually I checked the attendance on the bearcat website once I was back from the game. It is at the bottom of the box-score on the bearcat website. It says 6163.

that is an exaggeration for sure. i was out at half, so make it 6162 as Jon suggested. Smarty Zimphy mustve had one of her cronies walk circles through the turnstiles with counters to show good numbers.

I was in the student section and it had a decent attendance. It never is packed unless it is one of the big games like wake forest, xavier , marquette or louisville.
But today's student contingent had quite a few freshmen (im guessing) because of their excitment and how conscious they were about what they spoke. they really didnt know the UC players names, so thats a fair indication.

yes i agree. the sideboards by the court get lit every so often and its annoying. the hidden scoreboard is a pain too.

btw, do anyone of you sit in teh students section during the games? just curious...
