I am honestly very surprised this thread has not been brought up this whole basketball season

I think people have honestly just gotten tired of beating a dead horse. Should we have better attendance? Yes. Are there things can be done about it? To an extent, yes. Is it going to be solved overnight? No.

Yep, I also think the program is a bit a victim of its own success. If the Zips had been terrible for a long time and then they were now 18-4 there would probably be more buzz surrounding the team. Locals seem to instead take the team for granted as 20+ win seasons for the Zips is the norm.

 

Edit: Even nationally this team this season would probably get some Cinderella dark horse chatter if Miami wasn't hogging all the national attention.

The UMass promo is dumb. 23% off tickets for Big Dog but only upper deck.

Zips were listed as a longshot in the ESPN Bubble Watch.

They need to put some money into the JAR. Make it a place people actually want to go.

They're trying, and that's all I can ask for. Gameday experience is so much better, in-game entertainment is solid, they've had some nice promos - I appreciate the clear effort that has been there. I'd love to see the sideline bleachers replaced by seats one day, and concessions leave a lot to be desired, but they're doing a pretty good job with what they have to work with.

From an enjoyment perspective I say this every season. They need better concession options. And get new seats for the lower bowl. The chairs are old and falling apart. 
 

from a promo perspective they have done decent. The mascot day was a huge hit and this is 2nd straight year giving away a jersey! 
 

I would love to see a top tier talent for halftime. Such as Red panda. And then one more major promo that draws families. Like a bounce houses on the end zones.
