Summary Number: 26
 
Continue to support University of Arizona athletics for their impact on the region’s sense of community, identity, and for the entertainment they provide
 
 "I love game days (UA sports); it unifies people in the community."
 "I like University of Arizona sports."
 "I am (and my family is) a physically active person and love sports. Our climate supports that and our tie to UA Athletics is strong in many sports (basketball, football, softball, swimming and diving, golf, etc.)"
 "Drop the baseball dreams. Tucson is happy supporting the U of A athletics."
 "I'm a huge U of A sports fan, and feel it's the strongest civic bond Tucson has, of any kind. Where else to you see such a blend of ages, ethnicities, religions, political persuasions, socioeconomic statuses, etc. in one venue?"
 "I love attending and watching the U of A sports and other school related activities."
 "Our interaction with the UofA athletics only enforces this feeling of a small town. Being of an older generation (I am 57) and involved with collegiate sports, keeps me 'in the loop'".
