I dont think an ACC team puts more butts in the seats....not many local fans follow UVA, etc. in this area....but there are plenty of UMass fans in the seats...not a bad crowd just tough on a TUesday night....but Mohegan Sun is not going to play the game on a weekend because they have other, higher drawing events during those times...

Your probably right. Yale didn't draw that well vs. Wake in Bridgeport. And I think Harford played Clemson at Mohegan last year, but I don't know what they drew. Its just with such a small home gym, its impossible for us to ever schedule a higher profile team in a "home" game. We can't even get a 2-1 deal with higher profile teams. I think Mohegan is the best we can hope for.

Tuesday night does suck. Although I can rememeber 2 years ago that game must have been a Sun or Mon, becasue I made a long weekend of it in CT. I still like the Mohegan idea, but I'm up for any ideas to improve scheduling and team exposure. On a related note, I was at last Sunday's game and for the 2 day tourney we are averaging 2,000+. That's not bad, and it better than what Northeastern and BU are drawing, so I won't complain too much!

agreed. home attendance is always good. Hartford vs. Clemson was 2 years ago and it was a doubleheader with the women. UMass-CCSU two years ago was on a weekend...

Anyway, it's always good to beat an A-10 team.
