Free tickets to Arnold Palmer Tournament Week of March 15th

I was going to put on the hoops section as I thought it would get greater viewing but here is where it belongs, Smart Ass!!!

Sorry if i offended you
I would have used the smiley icon, if I knew how.

Upon further examination, they are good Monday through Sunday, not just weekdays. The access is: grounds.  Site is Bay Hill.

do you have the attendance for any other MAAC game yesterday ?

Thanks. I believe that there is more than the academic factor. These attendances figures are not much different from the Pl ones.
Siena is the major outlier, even though Monmouth has been the best team the past few years.
i have a feeling there will be no outstanding team next season.

A couple of reasons: firstly is plays is a downtown arena very similar to the DCU which makes going to the games an enjoyable event. When McCaffrey was there and they won the MAAC 3 years in a row, there average attendance was up to 6,600.
Secondly, they play in a league that, with the exception of Rider, Quinnipiac and Monmouth is pretty homogeneous, small Catholic schools. When Manhattan comes up, all the Manhattan alums come out in force, same with Fairfield, Niagara.
My observation is that the athleticism of the league is pretty good for a mid-major league which makes for an entertaining product.
After the arena the 2 most important factors are the strong alumni base in the capital district (Siena was pretty much a day hop school in my time and most of the alums stayed around) and the strong support from the local print and TV media. Most of the home games are on Time Warner cable as are the away games at Canisius and Niagara.
Interestingly, when cable TV first came to Albany I the mid-70s one of the channels was 27 out of Worcester and we got to see the Holy Cross games here in Albany.
The MAAC tournament is being held in Albany this weekend and the attendance will pretty much be influenced by how deep into the tourney Siena goes. They play Fairfield Saturday night in the late game and, if successful, Monmouth the next afternoon. I don't see them beating Monmouth but if they do, tournament attendance should approach 50,000 again.

As you may know, UAlbany has had much more success in the last few years, 3 straight trips to the dance out of the America East. However, its attendance are PL numbers as there isn't a lot of interest in UMBC, UHN, Maine and the other schools in the league. They can't play in the downtown arena as it would be an economic disaster with their small fan base. Also, their grads come from a boarder geographic catch basin and always have so they don't have the alumni base that Siena does. I only saw one UAlbany game this year, the one the Cross came over for and there weren't too many people in the gym. We Crusaders made just as much noice and the home crowd. Newt season the Cross is going to renew its series with Siena so we will see how it goes. Obviously there will be more people to see the game in Albany than the one in Worcester which will be at the Hart. I don't recall who is home first but hopefully when the Cross comes to Albany a lot of you will make the trip to join us and make some noise.
