The arena isn't on campus and it's a Sunday afternoon
Regarding the arena not being on campus...students can walk to Rupp Arena from campus...just saying. Regarding the crowd, it's early in the season and this isn't a marquee game but THIS is the time to go to a game at Rupp if you've never seen one.

I went to UK. You CAN walk to Rupp, but for most it's unrealistic. It's a hell of a walk, more than 95% of us are willing to make. The decision to make UK play downtown is for the city not the kids. No one can talk about Rupp student section as long as the arena is downtown.

from my anecdotal experience, seems like something is off this year in regards to early season interest.

I'm here now. The student section is embarrassing. They should get rid of that area and go back to seats. Probably at least a couple thousand empty seats all over. Might be the time to reduce capacity and improve the seating.

Watching on TV, both areas behind the benches down low look surprisingly empty to me. Just saying...

does what? top 5 teams with tons of talent is a good enough product for people to enjoy? lol

Like trailing Utah Valley State at half time. Nobody wants to watch that. Most UK fans are luke warm these days first half the season.

I went to UK as well. For those tickets...that walk isn't that far...

Nope...not there...but I don't live within walking distance either. If you're an on campus student you'll lose this argument....

So you could drive there in your warm car and walk 3 blocks and go, but students are lazy for not walking a mile and a half? I'd say you lost this argument when you sat on youass on your couch to watch the game.

Shut up with that. I live an hour away. If I could walk to RUPP for 10 bucks you better bet your *** i wouldn't miss a game.

Easy to say that when you live an hour away. I went to UK and went to like 5 games in 4 years. I go to almost everyone now. Because it's easier now than when I was a student.
