Games at 'The Well' Downtown next season

[Jasper]

Right on. The next you know they’ll be taking aware our typewriters and fountain pens.

Why couldn't they get rid of the ice for one weekend? Its the NCAA tournament for gosh sakes.

Just realized the womens tournament regional sites will be reduced to 2 sites next year with 8 teams each with 2 advancing to the final four. The 2 sites are Seattle and Greenville. Another huge plus for the city!

When I renewed my football tickets last week, it seems like those are both printable & phone-able. I opted not to do anything yet because the kickoff times are not finalized.

They should all be played at the Well.

Do we shoot as well at the Well as we do at Timmons? I only ask because generally people shoot worse in bigger arenas. If we shoot better at Berea HS, I’m ok with playing there.

[Davemeister]

We didn't shoot better at Timmons vs. UT-C.

We didn't shoot better at Timmons vs. UT-C.

We need to borrow those big heating fans from the football program for our games at Timmons. Put them behind the bench to keep our players warm.

Yes we do but like everywhere it varies even from half to half.
Largeest arenas:
Louisville shot 43% from 3 for the game.
UNC shot 54% in the first half and 53% from 3.
Mercer at the Well shot 50% from 3 in the first half.
Wofford at the Well shot 54% and 46% from 3 the second half.
So no the arena size has little to do with shooting percentage. Some of our worst shooting nights came at Timmons.

A true 'box of chocolates'

The more practice we can get in a big arena the better prepared we will be to knock someone off in the NCAA's it would seem

We have played 6 total games at 'The Well' in 2 of the past 3 seasons (skipping the Covid season)

3,740 12/14/19 Winthrop
4,646 1/11/20 UNCG
6,096 2/22/20 Wofford

3,217 1/8/22 Mercer
3,616 2/5/22 UNCG
5,332 2/19/22 Wofford


So in 6 games we have averaged 4,441 attendance downtown at Bon Secours Wellness Arena

So Stephen F Austin at 'The Well' on Dec. 17th

The good part of that is we are at least hosting a really good mid major program, the bad part is it takes place after FU students get out of school for holiday

We can bank on the Wofford home game being downtown, and I guess maybe 1 other Saturday SoCon home game downtown as well
