In reply to: FU73 's message, "3000+ games at AHY" on 02:58:22pm 01/19/06 Thu,

The data for this season is skewed. 2 of the home games this year were missing students, cheerleaders and the band because of Finals (Fordham game) and Winter break (Siena game).

Lets not rush to conclusions. Staying at AHY is the best solution if we have support from the Adminstation, a winning team, players who "put on a show" and a strong marketing team.

The only way an on campus arena works is if we build a new 5k seat arena. Fairfield has plenty of money to support a new 5k seat arena on campus. But the town will not approve a new structure.

Look at it this way, if we do not stay at AHY and suceed then SHU will eat our lunch. SHU could eventually play in the arena while, FU continues to go no where and play in a high school gym.

Fairfield has the money. It just needs to spend it wisely. FU needs to use its resources and hire the best people. It looks like some departments are underfunded and some of the people in certain departments are not doing the job. Time to take action and hire the best people around; marketing, atheletic department, adminstration, etc.

Would SHU even be interested in playing at AHY and how many local basketball fans would go if they won't go to a Fairfield/Rider game. This year SHU is averaging 671 at their games. In 2004/2005 they did 661 and in 2003/2004 they only averaged 642. The Fairfield women out draw them.
