You need to look at percentage of capacity to get a real idea of how the attendence is. BC sold 78% of their tickets and BU sold 77% of their tickets. That's not how many people attended the game, just tickets sold. Those numbers aren't bad, but many of the midwest schools sell over 90% of the tickets. Granted, a lot of this has to do with there being a lot more to do around a city like Boston, but you still don't see or hear much talk about the local college hockey around here.

Yea i totally agree with you fishbones. The numbers for BU and BC are respectable though. Also, there's way more to do around here than just going to sporting events. I worked in KS and no offense to people who live out there but there is not much going on culture wise so getting behind your college teams becomes a cultural thing to do. This is totally a pro sports town and region and unless you have a tie to the college they don't pick up many casual fans. I love college sports and always will.
