The truth:
Syracuse -- Carrier Dome 33,000
Georgetown -- MCI Center 20,600
Seton Hall -- Continental Arena 20,000
St Johns -- MSG 18,700 & Alumni Hall 6,008 (used more than ever this year b/c of
bball program woes)
West Virginia -- WVU Center 14,000
Providence -- Dunkin Donuts Center 12,993
Pittsburgh -- Petersen Events Center 12,500
Joyce Center -- 11,418
Gampel Pavilion -- 10,167
BC -- Conte Arena 8,606
Rutgers -- RAC 8,000
Villanova -- Pavilion 6,000

BC's arena is certainly small compared to the rest of the Big East arenas and
major college bball arenas in general. Further, BC has sold out every game in
2005. I wrote 2005, not 2004-2005. Do you blame them for not selling out or fans
for not coming to home games against Maine, New Hampshire, Clemson, Long Island,
Holy Cross, Boston U, Yale, Duquesne and Kent State?

... No, but there are teams that would sell out those games and fans who would fill arenas larger than 8,600 to watch those victories. ...

I don't think it is fair to say that BC's facilities are inferior because of the size to the MCI Cetner, Continental Arena and MSG. Have you been to a G'Town,...
