Lady App basketball for free?

Unread post by scatman77 » Thu Feb 28, 2013 11:38 pm

I just saw on a goasu.com post to my phone that our ladies will be facing UTC for the final home game. Get this: admission is free.

I'm not sure if this would be the case for Lady App Basketball but I know that here in York once we started charging for admission to ALL events our attendance actually increased. My feeling was that we had something worth paying for. The Lady Apps fit that bill with their record. If nothing else wouldn't charging admission at least HELP pay the officials?
We don't slide at Appalachian State. It's a sign of weakness.

May be just a one game deal. We've had 4 home doubleheaders in last month, all of which the women played first. Saturday, the men play at 2pm and womens game then after. Hopefully by doing this, along with it being senior day, the ladies will have their largest attendance of the year.

That's what I do. I gripe and I know things.

Scat, in my opinion it is not Free...as student fees support all sports, season ticket holders bought them with the "understanding" that the men's games were free as the women's games were first and would be more entertaining!

The women's game being free tomorrow is a reward for having to pay to watch the guys!
Go APPS!
