Basketball fans' best options are the parking decks along Rivers Street. And as stated previously, parking decks make terrible places for tailgating regardless of the season. If the 2025 Master Plan significantly limits the amount of surface parking in Boone, then our administration better be prepared for attendance at our football games to more closely resemble that of our basketball games.
And not to be a naysayer, but our basketball team is also terrible and painful to watch... for now.
Attendance was bad when we were good as well. It would help if athletics could get the word out about when and who we are playing.
True true. I haven't been around for any of the good years... we will get back to there though! I also think that it is harder for most alums to drive up the mountain on a weekday also.
