    I'm going to respectfully disagree with you on this one. The attendance to their games is terrible. We've tried in past years to get people interested in their games but people don't want to watch women's sports, unless they are diehard fans or family. They put a great product out on the ice and that sould be seen.

      perhaps i should have clarified - relative to the rest of DIII (even DI) women the attendance is exceptional, and there can't be much argument there. they lead DIII, with average attendance 150% of the next closest. they slot in at 8th out of 86 in all of women's hockey this year, including D1. yes, there is plenty of room for improvement, but it is still impressive.

        Just for further perspective, RIT was also on spring break. Final Exam Week for Winter Quarter ended that day. Despite that, they still drew a significant number of students and got the band to stick around as well. Sweet!
        Can't we all just get along?
        Always remember... This is just a game we're talking about here. Let's not take it all too seriously.

          From my understanding (because I live 20 minutes from RIT) is that most of those students live in nearby apartments or commute from home. I have many friends who are there, mainly for graduate school, but I get the feeling that most students live right around the school. Niagara actually has a large drawing of Rochester students and many would not take the drive to back to school on Saturday after school was just ending (mainly b/c the dorms shut down early morning on Saturday). That is the main reason why I did not take the trip on Saturday to watch the game.

          Would you say that there is a large student base from right around the Rochester area that would have drawn the students to stay and go to the game?

            In that regard then yes attendance is exceptional. Still wish more people would come to their games though. Gets me more motivated to atually lead stuff for The Corner when there are more fans about.

              Just because students live in on campus apartments doesn't mean they stick around during breaks. I know almost all of my friends would go home during all the breaks when I was a student whether they lived in dorms or apartments.

              Doesn't really matter though, Niagara has their fans, we have ours. I think attendence arguments are dumb

                This attendance argument is the only thing I have going for me until Saturday LOL...no you're right. There are way too many factors that effect attendance.

                  Okay, no problem Elvo ... it just sounded that way to me. Besides, why not talk a little smack this time of year? And I was probably crabby last night when I wrote that ... I knew I was out of grits for the morning.

                      I would go to more women's games but it gets to be a bit much when added to all the men's games I go to. I need some weekends off!

                                The only reason the band stuck around was because of CBS, I think thats true for a bunch of people. If the game wernt nationally televised, I think we would have fallen short of the sellout once again.
