Audi Crooks to Transfer

I’d lose 1000 Audi’s compared to reliving Niang or Jefferson getting hurt, the Blarge call in MI, and our FB injuries.
How about the other 31 games we played? Guess they don't fit your narrative.
Perhaps we should talk about the one game Audi didn't play in: UNI. ******* wasted them no problem.
I mean, the ones that matter most are at the end of the season/in the tourney. Nobody really cares what the percentages were in our undefeated non-con against the sisters of the poor.
People have said our attendance will drop due to Audi leaving. I wonder how many people attend because they get in for free. Large donors get free passes, jr cyclone club gets in free I believe, students get in free, probably some others. I wonder how many you would lose if ISU charged $100 or so for season tickets?
The free tickets are a reason I don’t think attendance will drop or if it does, just slightly.

I guess I wasn't attending just to watch a particular player, but to watch the team. I suppose there may be a lot of people that have a personal connection to just Audi that are there for that reason, but I wouldn't think it would be a high %. I was wrong once before though. 
I think just winning more in general would see an uptick in attendance.
That might not be the best verb choice you could have made there
We have the numbers pretty well gamed so they will not "officially" fall much. The actual cheeks-in-the-seats? Well, that might be a different story. A big game next year might be the 6K we drew hosting the opening round a few years back playing Georgia. We won't have a home game with Iowa nor any conference draws. We won't be in contention so there won't be a repeat of years back when Baylor would be coming to town. With the league's down status, no Top Ten teams and or "must see" star power) we really don't have any good rivals left.
Still, our real people at the game versus "sold" tickets is still good regardless off an decline If we claim 10K and only have 5K that 5K is still top 25. 5K isn't bragging rights level but it is a solid base that is better than most P4 programs.
Any discussion around attendance decline needs to include the average age of attendee at WBB games. As each season goes by, there is a high probability that many may not be able to attend games any more...
Not sure why that matters. I understand why older fans choose the women’s game. Smaller crowds easier access, but it’s the programs responsibility to crow their base.
?? Last year we paid $469.40 for 2 season tickets, including fees.

You get free season tickets but you bought season ones? I’m assuming that’s cause you wanted lower ball and not the general admission tickets?
We don't get free tickets, and have bought WBB since we moved to Ames.
Edit: general admission isn't free.
OK, my statement was in regards to those who get free tickets. How many of them would buy tickets if they were cheap like $100 each even.
It costs now to have this status
