Especially overweight ones and if LSU fans, wear Mardi Gras beads.

People are drawn to it?

I figured besides families of the players, no one cared....besides that one girl that played as an arse back on the Tennessee team like 10 years ago

Women's baskeball? I still can't fathom how people go to every lsu home baseball game. That's like a 20 hour per week commitment. That's a part time job.

If you want to get close to the program and feel like an important booster its a lot cheaper than with the big three mens sports.

Their fans aren't lesbians? That's what people say about WNBA fans.

I live in Ruston and I've heard the Lady Techsters fans are all old. I just assumed it was because they haven't been good since the 80's

I'm here all week.

Because the game the women play below the rim is reminiscent of all basketball before the dunk took over
Passing and ball handling skills were more important.
Us old folks like that game better

They like the pace of the women's game as it is easy to follow. In women's basketball, you can see plays/sets developing without having to focus. The men's game is a blur in comparison.

They don't have to deal with large crowds, parking far, and expensive tickets. Plus they probably get hooked after one game and feeling bad for the players bc of the shitty crowds so they keep going back to support them.

I would guess cost of tickets. Per game is super cheap so I would imagine a whole season wouldn't cost much more than $100.
