For the team you primarily follow and root for, how many of its games to you attend in person during a typical recent season?
The purpose of this poll is simple: to see how many of us are fans in the seats vs. fans on TV or the computer, and how often.
If you buy tickets for games but can't make some due to weather or illness, you can count those as "attended" because that was your intention. |

Tennessee: Since I live 400 miles away, none, unless they play UVA in Charlottesville. But I do watch every game I can on TV or online.
JMU (secondary): when I can, maybe a half dozen games a year.

All home games, B1G Tournament and shorter road trips - MSU, especially.

This year I attended 16 games. I intended to go to Notre Dame but was sick in bed.
I was in ten different arenas. Two real home arenas, XL and Gampel, two sort of home arenas, Mohegan Sun and Bridgeport, plus Madison Square Garden, Germain Arena in FL, McGonigle in Philly, Williams Arena in NC, The Pavilion in Davis CA and Maples Arena.

Until the last few years, I attended all home games for Duke plus followed them on the road as much as possible. This year I decided I could not justify giving one more $ to the program as it is currently being run. As can easily be seen from attendance records, I am far from the only one who has made this decision.

Three, travel across the state. Would have been four but was snowed out.

This year I will put more than 4000 miles on my car traveling to Cal games. That includes 4 trips down to Berkeley (200+ miles each way), an LA trip and Seattle for the Pac 12 Tournament. Hopefully Cal will host in the NCAAs so I can make my fifth trip.

I go to all the home games, all the tournaments and some of the away games. The switch to the AAC makes some games prohibitive.

For my primary, St. John's, I have been to every home game but one, plus three road games and one that is sort of a home game (at MSG). (One of those road games was a Seton Hall home game, as listed below.)
For my secondary, Seton Hall, I have been to four home games and two road games (however, one of those road games was a St. John's home game).
For my tertiary, Iona, I have been to four home games and one road game.
For my quaternary, Michigan, I have been to one road game.
Additionally, I have seen five games not involving my teams, either as part of doubleheaders or because we couldn't think of anything better to do in Philadelphia, with two more in the hopper (Davidson at Fordham tomorrow, Princeton at Columbia next Saturday).
This is down from the last couple of seasons. For further analysis, my blog is tagged by year, location, team(s), level, and conference(s).

You have me beat in car miles. I flew to CA for UC Davis and Stanford, as well as the three Florida Games. I drove to NC which is 1350 round trip, and have a few other car trips, but won’t come close to 4000.
However, my 16 games listed above counts only UConn games. I also have season tickets to U Hartford, went to several home games, have season tickets to Colgate, but haven’t made a game yet, and drove to Allentown PA to see Johns Hopkins play Muhlenberg. I am planning to drive to Philly to see Penn-Princeton.

Any chance you will go to the Penn Princeton game? I've love to meet you.

We thought about it for the historical significance of the game, the rivalry, and the site- but a mid-week early evening in Philadelphia is a bit impractical when you don't have a car and you've already tested the good nature of your co-workers regarding time off.

I usually never miss any home games and have traveled to The ACC Tourney for 15 years straight. This year I have missed 2 games due to an inner ear problem and I am not going to The B1G Tourney. I have also traveled to several Thanksgiving week games such as P.R. ( twice ) Bahamas, Cancun, and U.S.V.I. I am a Terp die-hard. There is usually a game or two that the fans get a bus and travel to close away games. I've also traveled to several NCAA Tourney games in far away cities.

This year I bought tickets for three Boston College women's games. Unfortunately, I was only able to make it to one of those games.
Last year I went to four BC games. |

I tried to keep track of the mileage I put on my car for trips to Ball State and Purdue, plus all the side games to the Fever, IU, Taylor and over to Cincy, but I lost track of that real quick.

Thanks. I have nothing better to do since I'm retired and I love to travel. Having Meniere's disease is starting to restrict my travel some. It causes sudden onset vertigo and it's hard to monitor my sodium intake when eating out.

I live too far (>1000 miles) to see any of my favorite team's games in person, but I have seen them all on television or online for several years now. I am sure that after Title IX, the internet is the second greatest thing to happen to women's basketball.

Somewhat off topic, but I have a question for anybody who attended Senior Day games:
Did the Home team do anything special to recognize the Visiting team's senior(s)?

I go to 5-10 home games each season depending on my schedule.

Coach Close at UCLA has acknowledged them the last couple years, pretty sure it's something she'll always do while coaching. I didn't make it to the senior game this year, but at last years she had the others teams seniors come out, shake hands, and receive flowers.

Very similar to what we do at Maryland. I like it. I wish it would become the norm.
