Wright State player views on Rupp

1/4th of the lowers behind the visiting team's bench, to students, would be nice! That, combined with the rest of a home crowd should make things tough for opposing teams to even communicate during to's. I get that it likely comes down to money...but winning IS money.
That is where the band used to be located back in the 80's - and there were more band allowed back in the day, so they were louder. I can remember one instance where this absolutely infuriated Bobby Knight...
 
let me guess...some of you want the court surrounded by students that jump up and down the entire game chanting AAAAAAHHHHHH like they do at Duke? it doesn't intimidate the opponent or fire up the team even a little....just makes them look like dumbass. clueless college kids
Please tell me why almost every sports team in existence has a much higher win percentage at home than on the road. Your opinion doesn’t negate facts. Home court advantage is a real thing and it isn’t just because the team is more comfortable with the rims because they play on them more.

OT but how much are student tickets now? When I went in 90s they were free for first few years then like 5 bucks each .
 
Why would you NOT want an atmosphere like that? Yeah duke sucks but their home crowd is great.
many of you talk about how classless the Duke fanbase and other fanbases are....but now you all are saying you want to be like them....tells me all I need to know about you

I've never said a thing about duke fans being classless but carry on.
 
I'm early 30's for reference and I've been to my fair share of collegiate and professional sports games.

The only time I complain is when the idiot in front of me is standing for absolutely no reason. You'll see hundreds of people sitting down and you'd have two random dudes with a drink in their hand standing blocking a group of peoples view.

I have two more complaints actually.

People who stand in front of small kids and the elderly.
Tall people over 6'2 standing as well lol
 
real fans know that getting the team fired up when needed and acting like morons for 40 minutes are 2 different things.... keep up
I love it when folks try to set the definition of a 'real fan'. Especially one that thinks home crowds don't affect a game. Nope, "not even a little."

Rupp is one of the best arenas in the country for big games that matter.

Rupp is mediocre for cupcake games. It’s always been like that for the 44 years I’ve been going to games.

We’re Kentucky. We’re not painting our faces and chests, standing up all night and going OHHHHHHHHH for 2.5 hours to will our team to victory over Jackson State. Our students barely show up for those kind of games.
