This whole discussion has to be about relevance. BU basketball is not about a professional sports team where the tickets are so expensive that only the truly die hards can manage to pay for them. BU basketball is about a community like it or not is a bit older that loves the game but do not have the energy to show the passion that some 20 year old whipper snapper has. This all could change 2 ways. First of all the student body would have to take a much greater interest in the program and 2nd a new arena that catered to those older, wealthier, donating and valued fans where they would have a 1st class experience a little further from the floor (some may chose to keep their old seats anyway) so the students could form a ring around the floor. Right now that ring would maybe go 2 deep!
When I went to games I complained about the buzz kill from those older fans but we filled the student section to the brim. When they start filling their section I'll be glad to listen otherwise I'm in the Chico camp.
