Attendance Reaches Highest Mark in Over Two Decades

The Red Storm averaged 10,183 fans per game in 2023-24, the highest since the 2000-01 campaign​





QUEENS, N.Y. (March 12, 2024) – The St. John’s men’s basketball program’s average attendance for home games reached the highest mark in over two decades this past season. The Red Storm averaged 10,183 fans per contest over its 16 home games in 2023-24.



Under the direction of Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame Coach Rick Pitino, St. John’s finished the regular season with a 12-4 mark at home, which includes seven BIG EAST victories. The Red Storm’s average attendance figure this season was the highest since welcoming 11,223 fans per contest in 2000-01, one season following St. John’s last BIG EAST Tournament championship.



“A huge thank you to all of our fans and alumni across the country in making this a special season to remember in New York City with Coach Pitino,” said Director of Athletics Mike Cragg. “The future is bright as we continue to improve our campus arena, so I encourage fans to plan for 2024-25 as we have seen a large increase in season ticket members this past year. Let’s have a great month cheering for the Johnnies together in March Madness.”



In 2023-24, St. John’s sold out all five of its regular season games at Carnesecca Arena, as well as the Red Storm’s contest with Connecticut on Feb. 3 at Madison Square Garden. It was the first sellout for St. John’s at “The World’s Most Famous Arena” since welcoming a capacity crowd to MSG for the Johnnies matchup with Villanova on Feb. 17, 2019.



St. John’s averaged 13,977 fans in its eight games at The Garden, which was the most since welcoming 16,498 per game during the 2018-19 season. Additionally, the Johnnies averaged 11,173 fans per contest in BIG EAST home games. In total, the Red Storm welcomed 162,928 fans for its 16 games at MSG, Carnesecca Arena and UBS Arena.

For context, UConn only averaged 1,000 more fans as national champs last year and the #30 ranked team in attendance averaged 11,411.

The Nova game date/time robbed us and the SH UBS game hurt as well.

Top 25 is within reach next year with better schedule and more Garden games and o my Hofstra at UBS.
 
In first year of Pitino regime; attendance up, fundraising increasing, a ton of publicity, recruiting on track and right there for a dance bid.

Imo, hoops program is positioned well for that elusive level of being on track for consistent success. 👏👏👏👏
