Actually SU women now play all their games in the Dome. And just FYI Carmichael is a great arena.
For the record I think the Cage would be a great venue for the UMass women.
Have you been to a women's bball game?

I'm all in favor of the men's team playing against an opponent that doesn't draw well in the Cage because I think it would be a cool atmosphere and the place would get loud. It's different with the women. There isn't a fervent fan base that would really get the Cage loud. If the team isn't going to get a boost from the fan atmosphere by playing in the Cage, I think their much better off just playing in front of a mostly empty arena, which is at least modern.
This isn't an attack on fans for not supporting the women's team at all, it's just the way things are.

Personally I just like the cage better, it's a better atmosphere...but I'm biased. As crappy as the cage is/was I always loved the games there. It's got nothing to do with the crowd. 500 is going to look like nothing in a 4000 or 9000 seat arena regardless.
