Kid of ironic complaining about low attendance, when you weren't an attendant. Just saying.
There were a lot more students at this event during Tubby Time, about the same amount (maybe slightly more) old folks in attendance in previous years. The lower area was never close to full in my recollection... even when Tub-Tub came out on the motorcycle.
It's a great event for kids to come get their photo with Goldy, give him a high five, see players up close and get autographs.
They sold out the student section this year which is awesome. So how do you get more students to this event? Maybe had out their free t-shirt during this event? Make them pick up their tickets/passes that night? Give them a slice of pizza.. Some incentive needs to be added.
It was an observation, not a complaint. If you hadn't noticed, my entire post was related to being disappointed that it's not nearly as much of an event as it used to be. Who do you even think I was "complaining" about for low attendance? It's a little hard to attend while I'm living in FL for graduate school. I went to every single Tipoff while Tubby was around except for his first because I didn't know about it. Here's how it looked back then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-95GJuc1xw
