Mostly due to price. Folks are cheap around here. $5 or free they show. Winning they show for a while. No loyalty. Most casual fans shouldn't pay the money for the performance last Thursday. 40-16 at half. That's wasn't worth $5. How much does Iona charge that they average under 2K with all their success. This is NORMAL at all schools this size and better than most considering the results tthe past 8 years. But then again, you are OK with losing. Stop with your bullshit. No wonder you can't stay on the board for more than 20 mins at a time. The maac made the prices. Iona fans paid the same to see their games this weekend. Iona and all other maac teams didn't sell their souls and expect to make money on their basketball program. Maybe it's time to go back to the ARC and act like the rest of the conference.

I agree if we don't go back to some semblance of success. Nobody likes to watch losing. Well, maybe you. Can't string 2 consecutive wins together. But, hey, you're happy. I'll ask again - how much does the most successful team in the MAAC charge and can't even average 2K after a decade of success?

Siena fans paid more, just not monetarily :-)

and on those who have notified him and the BOT that if there is no change, there will be no Saints Alive check either. Which would be unfortunate because Saints Alive donations benefit all of the student-athletes at the school, not just the men’s basketball program. I get it, that not sending a check to Saints Alive is intended to send the message that people are not at all happy with the current state of men’s basketball, but doing so also has other consequences. Let’s hope that this all gets resolved ASAP, so those inclined to do so can keep sending their SA checks to the school.

I have no idea what other teams charge if they even charge anything. They aren't in business to make money on their basketball programs.

Absolutely agree with this, and that is why you can't let your flagship program flounder.

The're in the business to lose money on their programs, yet pay their coach big money. The point is - they CAN'T make money. Like you said, they're probably giving the tix away, but they can't average even 2K/game. So don't give me that front-runner bullshit when Iona doesn't avg 2K and they GIVE away their tix. Siena basketball WAS entertainment at one time for the casual fans. But as you tell us every game, we still sell 5500 - 7000 tickets (I didn't say fannies in the seats) every game - even in a 24 loss season. Keep hating on Siena but let the MAAC champions off the hook.

I’m sure it would be a scary number that the ad doesn’t want to see. I’m not renewing, I’ll tell you that. If he’s gone I’m renewing and probably upgrading.

They know how many vacations the coach takes, how many recruits he misses out on, his 15 year record inside and out but can't come up with a season ticket holder number.?

Why don't you get your head out of Patsos ass and ask D'Arg via email. The bottom line is how many people or how many seats. 3K season ticket holders could be 6K in seats...very few have only one.

My understanding is that the number of season tickets SOLD is around 3,000.

Put the firewater down and read the link I posted. Looked to be 3k give or take, hard to tell when that was from... didn’t we go through this earlier in the year when Siena mentioned some renewal percentage. If I remember correctly the renewals were down. At least at the time of the letter or email.
