He said aesthetic improvements to Hoglund Ballpark had also encouraged more people to come to games. He said it was important people enjoy the venue they visit to watch their teams.
For athletics attendance in general, Marchiony said certain sports had progressed this year, but the department hoped to do even more.
In terms of promoting itself, Price said the team still had a ways to go. He said he wished for more events like quarter hot dog nights and other activities to draw the fans.

GREENE: Wilkes leaves with no hard feelings

immediately engaged in conversation as though we had known each other for years.
During the season, he remained the same around the media and with fans. His openness and free-flowing style was something that had been lacking for a long time in the serious world of Kansas basketball, and it was good.
Now Wilkes will move on to the West Coast, where he'll continue to mature as a person and a
player. He pretty much has his choice of schools in California, whether it be UCLA, Cal or Stanford.
Even if Wilkes did not achieve what he planned as a freshman at Kansas, there is no question that he left his mark. Go ahead and open the Kansan. It's a given that Wilkes' name will pop up daily in the Free For All, with someone either requesting to go with him to California, as one caller did recently, or proclaiming their undynd love for him.
Every player on the team
becomes a celebrity once they slip on that crimson and blue uniform, but few become such beloved figures to the fans in such a short period of time. Even if the numbers don't indicate it, Wilkes' freshman year at Kansas was still in a way a success. Despite his relationship with this school coming to an end, it's a safe bet there will be no sore feelings going in either direction.
