I am not sure if Gonzaga still does this. But in the years back after the game the school would buy kegs for the students after the game. But you could only goto the party if you went to the game and had a ticket. So lets just say the school would be a ghost town during games. If st johns did that CA would be packed with 6000 students

Providence has their own bar on campus. St. John's dry policy is kind of lame instead of pretending like drinking doesn't go on they should embrace it and try and regulate it.

There used to be a bar in the UC.  Recsellar or something like that.  I agree with you.  Drinking happens...deal with it.  It's freaking college. 

Looking at those arenas, makes me wish we had a better facility.

It's improved since last year, but there is still a ways to go.
They've got figure out a way to increase the student attendance as well.

One thing I have noticed is that the student crowd is predominantly white.  For a school with only 36% of the students being white, they need to find a way to get the minority students involved in going to games.

Race is a very touchy subject. However at St. John's in my 4 years of study there I'd often find more african american students in taffner during men's basketball games or outside of montgoris than I would at the games. Most of the student support in the student sections is mostly caucasian and while there are some african american, indian, asian, and latino students at the games they will be sitting down elsewhere in the arena and not in the student section for reasons unknown to me.
