James Naismith Classic Tickets

I think that this was a good start that's something that should be become a annual event. However a few recommendations that I would make is that the promotion needs to be done a lot better also the concession stands should consider because it is a college sport I understand that everybody's in it for the money let me be all right. Cost for food and drinks especially if we're going to be there for 3 games I think it was outrageous that a drink and a hot dog cost me $20 to feed my kids and we were different three games thinking that this would be a good family event I shouldn't have to spend almost $150 worth of food for kids that's unacceptable. I've also believe in lower the cost for the tickets due to the lack of attendance. I notice it had to be no more than 5,000 people there and I'm being very generous with that number next time that the school bring their marching bands and cheerleaders as well I've been to a number of college sports games in the states the one thing I love about it is the atmosphere that they bring.

Three great NCAA games! Matchups well chosen and each game was competitive. We’re lucky to have the chance to see six quality teams. Event well run. Needs to be better advertised.

I love college basketball, I really wish the event was better marketed. The crowd was much smaller than I expected- the players deserve to be in front of a big crowd. It was a lot of fun - more people would have made it better!

Loved the games. I would definitely go again next year. Hopefully, attendance and popularity will grow each year

I thought it was a great event. Too bad it wasn't well attended. The crowd was missing -- otherwise a 5-star event. I assume you didn't get the word out. I got one announcement in August and and bought tickets right away as a birthday gift -- otherwise I might have forgotten about it. I told a bunch of people who are basketball fans I was going a couple of days before the event - no one was aware of it, and since it wasn't well advertised, they just assumed, as I did, that it must be sold out. I think you should have pitched this to high-schools and colleges, Raptors ticket holders, and maybe a bit more public media on the sports channels?

Amazing games. Please do this again next year. We need more college basketball content in Canada! 2nd annual James Naismith Classic next year?

Three of us went together. We watched the first 2 games as we had originally planned. I had assumed that there would be 2 or 3 times more fans in attendance. So the atmosphere was not what I had hoped for, even tho certain teams, UB Bulls in particular, had a fair number of fans at their respective games. A few dozen fans cheering for a particular team doesn’t create much noise in a large arena. The quality of basketball was good.

Perfect three games was just right... came from London in train say exactly where I wanted... nice flavour with bonnies fans ... great teams in Tennessee and Washington.... of course lost all three games on my bets...loved the Canadian content of players.. you couldn’t have done a better job if you tried... please do again next year... crowds will just get bigger and bigger

Great event, great venue... unfortunate that there was no program, no apparel and the Tim Hortons was closed by 5!!!!! Other than those big obstacles it was good!!
