PLL continues to play in venues not in the state of Florida. Last weekend, it was in Charlotte, at the beautifully redone American Legion Memorial Stadium, where attendance looked okay. The first week, in Albany, was noted by Grace Hamilton as a 12% growth in attendance Year over Year. Of course, it would be nice to know the actual numbers instead of just the growth.
That same article also noted that ABC hosted the first game, while the NCAA has not been able to convince having the Women or Men on ABC, so why PLL? We can fathom a guess, but why bother? The numbers for the Albany broadcast are 421,000 on average and 597,000 at peak, so one could summarize there must have been a LOT of people who did not stay with it too long to make that average.
Still, at least it’s going in the right direction . . . but if the numbers were really good, ABC would be showing a lot more games, wouldn’t they?
