Totally ruins the atmosphere from a sold out ruckus college game to a sit on your hands (thumbs pointed up) empty stadium quiet boring ass game. And yeah I'm pretty sure ruckus is a word but if not owell

With the booming economy, it's hard to blame them. Would have thought this bitch sold out.

in Detroit they're putting the court right in the middle too instead of on the side...worst idea ever

2/3 of people will be watching on the big screen

I was wondering what the hell has been going on here......all I see is 3/4 empty arenas the few shots they give you of it.

Very embarrasing.

It really has been........

The Big Fraud has continued to get worse and worse every 3-4 years for the past 27-30 years.

Really a shame, as CBB was grand in the late 70's and for a very short time in the early 80's.

NIT has been great so far, there's a big ND following in NYC, should sell the Garden out.

I went to the Sweet Sixteen last year at Ford Field. My seat was in the 13th row of the lower deck in what would be right behind one of the end zones for football. I calculated that I was 65 yards (not feet) from the near baseline. Totally ridiculous.

Also, the place is quiet because there are no beer sales during an NCAA event.
