Reliant Stadium ut/ucla basketball attendance a joke

[KF89]

Reliant might rethink what sports events they pick for december next year. 2797 people at ut\ucla game sat. & the sports writers at game said that number was generous.i think high school football teams like nederland & katy could have put 15000 fans in reliant just on their side easy. lol!

No doubt. A couple of years ago Katy and Pearland drew over 41,000 for their playoff game.

[/quote] They also had two major high school tourneys going on in the area. Just too many things going on without a good product to pitch.

You have to think that one of the reasons they wanted to host this game was to have a run through for NCAA tournament action there in the next few years....

It was embarrassing to see so few people there, but with Texas and UCLA both being bad, I can't blame people for not going.... A few years ago when this game was scheduled there, surely no one thought both teams would be that bad...
