What schools out there get a large number of students who go to their women's basketball games? Do Tennessee and Connecticut women's program outperform the men in student attendance? I don't know the answer but it seems like this article should have answered this question. I'm not sure this is a Stanford issue but more of a women's basketball vs. men's basketball issue.

Another question is which other sports draw students other than football and basketball? Not a whole lot of students show up for the top ranked baseball, women's tennis, swimming and diving, or women's soccer games either.

What I've seen in the women's basketball crowd this year is an incredibly loyal fan base. It doesn't matter who Stanford plays, there are always at least 2000 people in the stands and it's rarely under 3000. That's certainly not the case for the men (see the first two rounds of the NIT... and the third round against Nevada only got to 3000 because of the Nevada fans). In the last game of the season, the PA announcer asked during each TV timeout for individuals to stand up who have been season ticket holders for 5, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years, etc. It was amazing the percentage of people who are 30+ year season ticket holders for the women (and really sweet to see them bring their grand kids to the games). I'm not sure there's much to complain about in the attendance for women's basketball games. The ONLY true sell out in Maples this year was the women's game against Tennessee.
