Real people in stands, tickets sold or fictious numbers just like at Wake Forest games?
 
IDK, but I worked for a now-defunct minor league team one summer in college. We counted every ticket stub, and then the ticket manager decided what the attendance would be. Lets just say she didn't exactly round down, and it wasn't exactly determined by an algorithm.
 
Wait until the attendance numbers from the Tennis Tourney are announced. Some clients went the other night and said it was like a ghost town, the food was horrible and ran out in minutes. They actually served chicken nuggets and mac and cheese in the VIP hospitality suite. Last year it was sushi, shrimp and prime rib sandwiches. Cutting costs and raising the price of sponsorship. Way to go Bill Oakes!

He is employed by Wake Forest, after all.

Seriously though, the attendance numbers are in part because the two biggest names (Berdych and Isner) withdrew and there are no household names to really bring out crowds. Sam Querrey is the last American left, and he isn't going to draw huge crowds.

This terrible food was not "presented" by the same new folks that are going to be in the Tower and at LJVM is it?
 
Not sure who "presented" it. Only know that attendees are complaining about last year vs. this year.
