I admit that I attended a sports nut university, but there are multiple women’s sports at the University of Alabama that draw large crowds or crowds that fill the seats for the particular venues. I don’t think we could get 100K fans to a gymnastics meet, but you never know.
University of Maryland (my alma mater) has a fantastic woman’s basketball program. Yes... we have attended games. However, many people simply prefer to spend their money watching a sport like football or men’s basketball. (to be completely fair, IMHO women’s basketball is cleaner and has more traditional plays/skill vs the mens. That is just from my eyes). It is a lot of fun!
