Attendance records being set all over the country in 2023, and Irvine decides to negate that possibility while honoring the 2003 NCAA Tournament team by moving the match to a smaller venue, after playing in the larger one the whole season before the last home weekend. Great job, Irvine! I looked, no men's or women's hoops that night, plenty of time to reset for the hoops doubleheader on Saturday, especially with the 6 PM local start. Lame. Just lame. shows women's basketball at 2:00 pm on Saturday, with men's basketball at 7:00. Short turnaround, sure, but the crew at Stan Sheriff always finds a way to come through such schedule crunches. I've been to Crawford Hall. It reminds me of Titan Gym, with stands on only one sideline of the court. At least Titan has baseline seats; I don't remember there being any baseline seats at Crawford. There aren’t any, as I recall. Crawford is pretty bad as far as high school gyms go. One end-line side has doors that are often left open for ventilation, and balls are constantly exiting the building. The other end line is the pedestrian walkway. |

UCI's home attendance vs LBSU, Cal Poly and UCSB was in the 500's. Those are three of the top teams and draws for UCI outside Hawaii. If they double or come close to tripling that number Crawford Hall is big enough. IMO the team wants more of a home court advantage and with those crowd numbers Crawford will be louder and look packed. Better winning environment than an empty and hollow sounding Bren Center. The match has been sold out since right after the switch in venues was announced. It sounds like they were able to honor all of the tickets that people had already purchased for the Bren. I called UCI and they don't expect any blocks of tickets to be returned or any tickets to otherwise become available. If it's a close match it will be a crazy environment full of friends, family, and super-fans. |

Wait so the match tonight isn’t in Bren center? In was debating going but not as sure now… |
