The Quick Center only holds 740 people. I think the comment was more tongue and cheek.

I am sure the comment in the Westport Magazine wasn't based on any facts or research...... cultural people usually don't deal in details :-) However the Quick Center also has a large lobby and multiple theatres, so it is feasible that with people coming and going at different times, that they could attract 4K-5K in a given day.

The bigger concern is that students are not taking advantage of the Quick Center or AHY. The Quick Center seems to have some really good events.

If the students aren't coming out to AHY and not taking advantage of the Quick Center then where do they go on campus? Or don't they go anywhere? Back in the dark ages (1969-1973) we had no Rec Center, no Quick Center, No Levee but we had Alumni Hall, intramurals, movies in Gonzaga, a few good concerts a year, probably a lot more parties then now and no one seemed that bored or apathetic. Is the lack of school spirit and lack of involvement something that can be turned around? And if so by whom?
Can the students ever become a "home court" advantage again or is it only the hard core 2,000 fans that Fairfield b-ball can count on?
