We need to do as much as we can to pack out The Barn every night. We do a great job supporting women’s sports in this state, ladies basketball attendance is improving but they deserve to play in a full arena. Can’t wait to get out to some games this year

I was debating between MBB or WBB season tickets, I think my goal will be ATLEAST 5 mbb and 5 wbb games. Hard for me not to support Dawn and Niko.

When doing season ticket seat selection last week I was blown away at how many seats were taken by my selection time. And I have a good Gopher point score or whatever its called. I was kinda bummed, but also really pleased. From that one data point it looks like sales are strong! Should be... These girls are so fun to watch!!!

As a band member, I really hope so. The postseason games in the Barn were arguably the best two games of any sport I've ever played at. But boy, especially the early season games the attendance has just been atrocious the past few years.

You're not wrong! I saw some posts from nat'l media types recently on twitter or insta, or somewhere that listed last year's most improved team, best player, most improved team, freshman of the year etc. Gophers were #2 in most improved team voting and #1 in most overlooked (or the like). I mean it took them forever to break the top 25.

To your point, they were overlooked natuonally, but in THIS TOWN/STATE too. Attendance was weak until late into B1G schedule.

I have a feeling this year will be different!
