D 1 College basketball in the inland northwest pretty much consists of EWU, WSU, and Gonzaga.
If someone was a fan of college basketball where would they go to a game?
Gonzaga- the highest profile team but good luck getting a ticket. Seeing a game in the kennel is quite unlikely
WSU - Their games do not start until 7 or 8 and are almost 100 miles away. The choices are to stay overnight or get home well after midnight and... they will probably lose.
Eastern- Easy to go to a game, tickets are readily available and cheap. The team is competitive and fun to watch.
Why is attendance so low at Eastern games? Heck, even students on campus do not walk across the street for a game hno: . Enrollment @ Eastern is about 12,500 yet there was likely less than 1% at the game last night. hno: hno:
Are there just not that many fans of college basketball in this area?
