i went yesterday for the first time in years. literally with just 6 minutes or so left in the first half, about 150-200 fans were lined up for tickets. is this normal?

the crowd was super quiet, a little disappointed in that aspect.

the team looked really fluent moving the ball around. JOB looks much better in person then watching the game from the tube.

Normal for a Saturday night game but not a weeknight game. LSU basketball is one good season away from drawing 10K every home game.

I'm sure a lot of people were coming over after the baseball game. Not sure when it actually ended, but that could be why so many were walking in later

Were they coming from the baseball game? You can get discounted basketball tix if you show your baseball tix from that day..

There were probably 7,000 there. About half of the seats.

And yeah crowds have been arriving very late for seasons now. No one is there 10 minutes before the game. It doesn't max out until into the 1st half.

must have been that, was starting to think these were like the casual football ticket holders (leaving at halftime no matter the game)

The crowd was decent and yes a lot of people came over from the baseball game. I had a great time in BR yesterday.

hopefully with the big time recruits coming in we can win early and make some exciting plays getting 10k plus every home game. if the dome gets to where its rocking it will be a tough place to win

It was the best crowd I've seen, but was not at either UF or MU. Stood in line for 15 mins to get ticks just before. Team kicked arse, was good to see.

If there were actually 7000 seats filled that's actually pretty darn good!

7K is about right, it was a solid crowd. And I thought they were into for a much as you can be into a game against a terrible State team

Yesterday was the first of three baseball/basketball double headers happening this year.

Paid $5 for a basketball ticket with my baseball ticket stub.

It was a good day.

Yes, it is. By the way, we swept the opening series.
