Wonder if USF hoops having fans will be affected ...

... by Amalie's decision to close games to fans for Bolts and Raptors until at least February 5th.

I would thinks so, it's the same venue management company.

That's what concerns me ..... even though I think the YC has done a good job with things so far.

Do enough people go to the basketball games? The one game I went to last year was so empty, it was the best experience I had as a person who sometimes gets overwhelmed with crowds.

Edit: I meant this as “do enough people go to these games to warrant concern?”

It was legitimately me and my friend, had a whole entire section to ourselves and it was great. We just moved all the way down, and sat anywhere we wanted.

That's a bummer.  I wanted to come down and see a Raptor's game because that's weird.

Man. I had tickets to the Raptors vs. Bucks.

I demand to see a weird and unprecedented Tampa Raptors game!

I think they  were topping it out at 1200 but the games I've been to pretty sure didn't max out. The Kanigit game was supposedly sold out so maybe someone there can say how it looked.

Why punish the few fans who want to enjoy a college game. I am understanding that there is caution with this pandemic, but I just don’t go anywhere and catch the game at home. I thought we were trying to find a happy-medium, but I guess we are back to all or nothing.

I feel mostly bad for the athletes who are made to play in empty stadiums.

They haven't followed Amalie's lead yet so there is still hope .....
