On the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, there was barely a soul in the crowd at Boston University’s Agganis Arena. Yes, it was almost Thanksgiving. Yes, most students had already departed for home. But the final official attendance was listed as 1,826, in a rink that holds 6,300 people and averaged a total of 5,167 fans in 2009-10.
In 2018-19, BU averaged 3,830 spectators at its home contests.
“It’s sad, the lack of crowds. When BU played at BC I think they had a big crowd, but that's expected,” former 40-year BU coach Jack Parker said.
