One thing I've noticed is there's not really any exitement or atmosphere at the start of the games.. I think most of this is because the arena is always so empty just moments before each game.
Seems like it'd be good to actually have some people in the seats cheering when the team comes out on the floor but yet 5-10 minutes before each game I've been to this year, Littlejohn was a total ghost town. Five minutes into the first half, there were a lot more people and it does get loud when everyone is into the action.. but it just seems like we could do a better job getting the atmosphere started from the beginning (because even a 1/4th empty Littlejohn can still be pretty loud).
Like the NC State game this year... there were probably 7,000 people there eventually but five minutes before tip off there couldn't have been more than 1500...
