Empty Seats: The Athletic Department's Battle to Fill The Convo For Basketball Games
Echoes of the bouncing basketball reverberated through the 8,800-seat Convocation Center as Eastern Michigan University’s star guard Raven Lee scored 46 points, tying for the most this season by a NCAA player, against Miami (OH) last week. “The Convo” wasn’t quiet because Eagles fans had nothing to cheer about--EMU won 94-69. The Convo was quiet because there were only about 700 people scattered around the two-level arena.
