Besides football, why are Florida crowds and stadium facilities so shitty?

Florida's basketball arena should have been wild last night. They were desparate and coming off a gigantic win over Auburn, but the atmosphere against a ranked Arkansas team that hadn't won there in 27 yrs was quite underwhelming. Besides only a couple of times near the end of the second half, the crowd was terrible.
Florida's baseball stadium is also this way. Not only is it one of the shittiest looking parks in the league among the powerhouse teams, it seems to have no atmosphere at all. Plus, why the hell would you build a giant block wall behind home plate? You have given away the best seat in the house for no reason.
This isn't even a troll. I'm just genuinly curious how one of the better athletic departments in the nation has such shitty fan experience in so many major sports.

It’s been two years since they played there.

People are apathetic about the current state of the basketball program. At Florida, the expectation for our basketball program has been tournament runs/ sweet 16 appearances. Unlike Arky, we’ve been to 5 final fours over the last 2 decades and a couple natties so the fanbase doesn’t give a shite about mediocre results of the last few years and a win over Auburn won’t change that. People know this team sucked regardless and change is needed.

Before last year, Arkansas last sweet 16 was 1996. Y’all have been sleeping for 20 years…

Y’all fell fast after a great basketball coach left and football fell from all the cheating and murdering.
you sell your soul, you’ll pay one day.

Too much talent in the state to be down long. UF will always be around in all sports. Mike White’s time has certainly run it’s course

Please keep him so we can get back some wins.

Lol, no.
Here’s the reality and the old UF fans don’t like to admit it though it’s a a positive in general: UF is a nerd school like Vandy.
The current UF fans don’t care about athletics. UF is a huge school with generally good athletics yet their tan support is pathetic. Unless their team is top 10, their Support is very bad including football for a school that size in the SEC.

So, like your program, it was in the distant past.
Good times.

Now they are up late at night studying and don’t have time to watch a meaningless spring game. Even the women have changed. The hottest women went to UF, now they go to FSU and UCF because they can’t get in.

The state of Florida is also pretty poor. All schools have struggled upgrading facilities. Florida fans don’t travel well because there’s not a lot of money in the state. Sad but true.

Foley's 10 year freeze on building or renovating didn't help things. FSU got an IPF before we did.

It’s funny that an Auburn guy is trying to troll Florida for crowd size. At least we didn’t downsize our bball arena so we could fill it up. Where were your crowds before sweaty pearl showed up?
