It's not about unequal treatment, it's about playing before 200 or fewer people in an arena meant for 9K. It's about avoiding embarassment. Have you ever attended such games there? When/if the women improve and begin to draw larger crowds, or are playing a major opponent/weekend doubleheader, then they could move game to Bpt.

The logical pursuit is to allow the "market forces" to prevail. Regretably, we are in a politically correct environment which harms all, especially the women, who they blindly presume to speak for.

I probably one of the bigger women's team fans on this board. I am fine with most women's games at Alumni Hall and some at the Arena.

As a fan, the Arena is not enticing. The only real advantage is that you can have a beer. Its expensive and cold. The atmosphere, even for the men, is not there yet (ever?). Expensive, lousy food served by incompetents. Its a nice new facility that on the face of it evidently impresses recruits. Are they really impressed when it is 1/4 filled? Wouldn't the recruits start to realize the potential of the Arena isn't happening.
