Thanks for the information. Okay - i can accept that admission prices for top-tier games around country have risen. But, that doesn't change fact that there is huge premium being charged by Colgate for the U CONN game. I know eberyone would like to see Starr paked every game - but our hockey program has tradition and is well-established. Our women's basketball pgrm lacks tradition and does not have nearly enough core supporters who attend home games. $25 is steep - and a real premium over a regular game admission. If even 10-20 new fans attended U CONN game - and liked the experience - and decided to come back to attend other Colgate women's basketball games, those 10-20 additional attendees would represent a real tangible "gain" for the women's basketball program. In my mind, charging the premium is NOT the way to try and build a program's following. Big supporter of VC and her team - but they got this one wrong. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!
