Several empty seats

Guessing some of those fans would rather watch it on their 60 inch HDTV like a lot of Kentucky fans also do.
Wednesday night. Coldish night in Raleigh. Expensive tickets. Church night for some. Lack of interest n Nov basketball. Hard to say.
The wine and cheese folks get cold and the orange necks spent all their money on ripple.
Wearn't the talking heads picking Tennessee to win the conference? They don't look like much at all.
And Barnes teams play thug ball and will peak in January. This team may have have already peaked.
I've went to several games in Rupp when I was younger.
As I got older and 60 inch HD TV came along. I'd rather stay home. Steps from the fridge. Steps from restroom no waiting. No paying ridiculous ticket prices. Plus I don't get around good anymore. Struggle with travel due to back issues. For me it's a no Brainer.
Having said all of that. Every UK fan should expirence a big game in Rupp at least once. But what I said above is the main reason arenas aren't at capacity every game.

People just don't go to sporting events anymore in the same numbers as they used to. For the most part anyways.
It ain’t money, Chapel Hill plus the the whole Raleigh area is one of the wealthiest metros in the South
I got a Sony 75 inch as an early Christmas present. I’ll be at the game Saturday though. Just not the same as in person.
I used to go to games. But prices now are just stupid unless you want to sit way up top. I'd rather sit at home in my recliner and be comfortable in HD. LoL
I think this is one of the biggest issues. It’s like this for sports and concerts. Look online and see a tix for $35 and go to checkout and somehow the total is now $58. It’s absolutely ridiculous. I’d rather wait in a line, again, to get a tix at face value but that’s a thing of the past now.
Rupp had some empties in the corners too the other night for 1 of our biggest home games of the year. Going to games is just not as popular as it used to be.
If you check Ticketmaster right up until tipoff there will be people trying to resell seats even to cupcake games for $250. Those seats end up empty. Given how easy it is to resell these days, you'd think they would rather have some money instead of no money for a seat they won't use, but nah.
