Memorial Coliseum's Schedules.

I wanted to get this post out so that students in our class can go and visit Memorial Coliseum and experience it for themselves. I have been in Memorial Coliseum a total of three times so far this year. With being in the band I have the opportunity all the time to go into this great facility and play and interact with the teams and show my school spirit. The first time I was there was for the freshman induction ceremony to play with the band. The last two times I have been there has to attend volleyball games and play with the band. I have never particularly been interested in the sport of volleyball. I strongly encourage all of you in class to try at least one game. They are a lot of fun to take part in.

Here soon basketball season is starting up. This coming Friday is Midnight Madness. For those of you who don’t know what Midnight Madness is or have never been its pretty much when Kentucky gets to meet this year’s basketball teams, both men’s and women’s. It’s an amazing event that I highly suggest you try to go and see it, although this takes place in Rupp Arena not Memorial Coliseum.

My main goal for this post is to get people involved in Memorial Coliseum. In the last two times that I have been there the attendance for the volleyball games has been quite low and truthfully sad. I have been to several men’s basketball games and there is rarely an empty seat. Which makes me wonder what is wrong with Memorial?

Why are has there been a loss in attendance for sports that take place at Memorial Coliseum but not for sports that take place at Rupp Arena?

It can’t be that the teams that play at Memorial Coliseum are terrible because the volleyball team is literally undefeated and they are ranked 8^th in the nation. I watched yesterday as they pulverized Auburn beating them in three sets easy.

Could it just be that there isn't enough promotion of the programs that play at Memorial Coliseum?

Do people even know about the teams that play there and how good they are?

Do people even care about Memorial?

Listed below I have links to the women’s basketball and volleyball schedules. I hope that those who read this post are more interested in going and checking out Memorial for yourself.
