my initial hesitance was "why raise the price, when most people weren't going before, and just now are mildly interested in it?"

You know gymnastics sells out the PMAC like every meet right?

Yes, actually I do know that. I knew people involved in gymnastics going back to the 80's. I did some men's stuff in middle and highschool, which was fantastic for core strength, and I knew a couple of the girls who were on the team when I went to college. I remember when Nina got a job at WBRZ afterwards.

Selling out the PMAC is great, but that only means the diehard group will go every time. I'd say men's basketball has a far larger audience casually watching it, that might go, and they didn't sell out the PMAC.

Winning the national title has expanded gymnastics to a larger segment of the LSU fandom, and they may now decide they want to see a meet or 2. That's the group I'm referring to; the price won't seem exorbitant, and they won't know it was cheaper last year because they didn't even think about it.
