Gameday Photos - CCSU vs St. John's
- Thread starter NYCRedmen
- Start date
Outstanding set of pictures , thank you for the he 1000th time on behalf of those of us who can’t attend games due to distance. You can’t imagine how much your efforts are appreciated.
Only negative from looking at the great photos is that while the attendance looks improved from the Mercer Game there were still too many open seats. This coach and staff deserve better, they truly do. As Paultzman pointed out on another thread they work very hard, are engaged and focused and are truly committed to building the program. If I may add they also look the part of a professional staff in that the head coach is fully in control, being the only one standing and barking orders as I believe he should be and is engaged all game. He is standing and coaching all game.
Prior bench players are taking on a much greater and improved role and players who we all had concerns about at this level as they were such late recruits in Rutherford, Spears, Champagie have really outperformed our expectations as a result of good coaching. Let’s hope that attendance picks up significantly. CMA certainly deserves it.

Attendance has been a problem forever. Mullin helped out a bit because of his name. Bottom line unless the team is a consistent winner it will look like that unless the athletic dept erases its archaic ways and starts being cute and aggressive. Slowly Cragg is doing that. But there are 99 problems and attendance is one and he can't do it alone. It falls on the heads of others there in marketing and ticketing.

Selling 5500 tickets to an on campus game should NOT be that hard for a smart sports business executive.

This is obviously was written in April. I don’t think attendance is the biggest issue. Playing early season games against the likes of CCSU and Mercer and so on in a pro town is a tough sell. I would wait to see what attendance is like for BE games and games at the Garden. Winning once in awhile will do wonders.
