It has often been said that the move to the arena allows us to 1) attract better OOC opposition. Better OOC opposition allows us to 2) attract better players. Better players allow us to consistently 3) be one of the top teams in the MAAC. Being one of the top teams in the MAAC will 4) drive up attendance as word gets out that Fairfield is good.

#1 and #2 have been accomplished. #3 is in its infancy, but as we can see, the Stags are now competing for the MAAC championship. #4 will take a little while.

While the men's team will IMO most likely never return to Alumni Hall after the contract is up in 3 years, should the women's team play league games at home instead. They never really had much following at Alumni Hall, and to see a couple of hundred fans at most of their Arena games in not only sad, but is costing the school tons of money. Maybe that's why they had to drop football and hockey, to pay their cost.
