Sacred Heart on a Sunday afternoon seems like a tough draw. I don’t have any data at all to back up, but it always seems like we draw better for night games than day. Students don’t seem to turn up for weekend day games.
Other problem is arena is so big, 1,042 looks empty. That is probably most of low level seats, students, and most of upstairs is empty seats, except sprinkling upstairs around midcourt. Even 2,500 there is less than half capacity. To have a “real college atmosphere”, you need to probably put 4,000 in there, and that is never happening. It is so cavernous in there, that the building is always lacking energy.
