This is the first Coppa Italia game i’ve watched so far this year. Normally Bologna can draw a pretty good crowd for its Serie A games. I get its a Tuesday night, but it still seems like there should be more people. Any other reasons why?

Sadly no one cares about the Coppa Italia, also tonight is Halloween and tomorrow is a national holiday.
It’s a tournament that, historically, doesn’t draw much attention generally. Everyone mostly fields bench players until they reach the semifinals: the big sides have enough depth to attempt reaching it that way, and if they don’t it’s not a big deal, the weaker ones know they probably won’t reach the semis, until they struck gold and don’t meet any of the big clubs, and it’s not expected of them to make big runs in the cup.
