The Fan's Failure

Quinnipiac students hate social distancing. Except for when it comes to their sport teams.

The $54 million facility on York Hill plays host to the schools mens and womens hockey, basketball and acro and tumbling teams. Yet the teams struggle to fill a third of the 3,500 avalible seats for events outside of men's hockey.

One of the most glaring problems, a lack of student awareness for the event schedule on York Hill.

"It's such a process to go and get the tickets," Sophomore Audrey Skafati said. "I don't think I care that much."

Quinnipiac is not the only school that has a problem putting butts in seats. Just down the road in New Haven, Yale Univeristy men's ice hockey struggled to get fans through their doors for a weekend matchup against an ECAC Hockey opponant.

As for a solution to the problem, students have suggested better advertising, easier acsess to shuttles and fan buses. Though it remains to be seen if the cry for fans drives school administration enough to make change in the Quinnipiac comunity.
