Other issues I heard mentioned for some games is that they cleared the arena between the first pair of games and the 2nd pair of games but had little time to admit everyone for the 2nd sessions. They scheduled the sessions too close together. Some games started with nearly empty seats and slowly filled up as they got people through.

Camron - while these are nice "alibis" and "excuses" and I concur to a point, I would also opine that having games in the middle of the day, far from home, in large arenas, between non-local teams that no one really knows about, don't generate a lot of excitement and therefore show lackluster attendance - boys or girls (and girls is obviously much worse).
