Are these actual numbers of those who were in the seats?
LSU's baseball reports attendances of more than 11,000 virtually every home game when the place is less than half full. Is that the case for gymnastics>

Why do they lose money with these hugh crowds?

Because they don’t have the tv revenue to have it make money and the tickets are cheap.
Football and MBB get a sizable chunk of tv revenue. Plus the ticket prices so they are making money.

That is why I am opposed to the plans to build the new arena as there were indications they want to build a more intimate type setting like Auburn but reduce seating to around 10,000. That is foolish with the way gymnastics and women's basketball pack in huge crowds and so will men's basketball which will eventualy have all things aligned. If the new arena capacity can be 14,000 to 15,000 that would be great.
The plan for the new arena is that it will have modifiable seating. The model is the Moody Center at Texas. The general capacity for UT basketball games is just under 11k. However, the seating can be expanded to 16k (presumably including floor seats) for concerts.
See below. Behind the screen are upper deck seats. The screens can be raised (if needed)
Also, while WBB and gymastics being very good is the biggest part of the draw for fans, you also have to realize the season tickets are really cheap compared to mens basketball. Lower-level season ticket for WBB (including TAF fees) range from $325 - $400. Upper deck season tickets are $50. Compare that to men's BB where lower level season tickets range from $500 - $1,100 with upper deck ticket from $175 - $300. Season tickets are even cheaper for gymnastics: Lower level season tickets are $125. Upper deck season tickets are $20 - $50. Would LSU get the same crowds for WBB and gymnastics if the ticket prices were higher?
If LSU wanted to build a smaller fixed capacity arena they could do so and simply raise the costs of WBB and gym tickets to meet the obvious demand.
