As a student I can only speak for students. with that being said if the ticket office is bad, honestly I do not blame people for not wanting to deal with rude service. that could be a problem for the CASUAL fan. the parking is annoying but even with high attendence like the Butler game, I still dont think it is as bad as UD's parking, so Im not sure if that is a reason. As a student though I do not understand why more students do not come out. we get 2 free tickets and rewards for going?! are you kidding why not go? I really think that students like to b#%*@! and moan about WSU and im pretty sick of it. If i didnt have people to go with I would probably still go lol but for the CAUSAL student, they probably need a group of people to go. its one of those things that us kids have in our system, "ill go if you go". it is really stupid but that is honestly what i think. the more people that are in the Nutt C cheering for the Raiders, the more the causal fan and student will come back for another fun experience; especially if they win (which we do at home knock on wood). there DOES need to be better advertisement on campus though.
I usually come with a large group of friends and we all enjoy ourselves. occasionally i brought a friend that did not go to WSU and they enjoyed themselves too. however they would comment on the timeout entertainment (the games). now this surely is not the main reason attendence is not great, but it is pretty lame. and I know Josh and Drew are students, but its getting pretty bad. I asked what their school usually does and they said they just have the band play or have the cheer team/dance team on. I mean I wouldnt mind the games but having someone open a present or catch tee shirts with a basket are not fun to watch.
Heres something easy to do, have someone shoot a half court shot and if they make it a certain section/row gets free drinks, do it again during another timeout and a certain section/row gets free food. give them like 2 shots if you want and have the band play the rest of the way; or my favorite EJ. would get a lot of fans stay loud.
