3,500-ish in attendance is pretty good, IMHO, considering we have none of the following: comfortable arena - no good concessions - no decent team shop - no halftime entertainment - no interesting opponents - no There is nothing to convey an important, special, "big time" atmosphere. The only draw, and this will sound odd, is the basketball. The 3,500 are Zips diehards. I think attendance will improve against K.e.n.t., Toledo & Ohio. But other than those three opponents, you've really gotta be a true diehard Zips fan who bleeds blue & gold to want to come to the JAR for a game.
