If we don't see a vast improvement in attendance this year with what we did last year and what we have coming back, then there is little to no hope of it ever happening...
If what we've done doesn't do it, what possibly could? An invitation to join the A-10?
A10 wouldn’t make a difference in attendance. 3 spots behind MVC last year and MVC projects to be the better league this year.
Hopefully the league is smart enough to make ISU @ LU the final game again. If ISU & BU are on Saturdays, they will sellout imo. Perhaps UMKC & Nevada too even on a Tuesday.
I predict 4 sellouts.
The Nevada game will definitely be a sellout. A rematch of the sweet 16 and Nevada should be a top 10 team by then. Also, SIU fans travel really well, so if that’s a weekend game I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s a sellout. If the over/under on sellouts is 4.5, I’ll take the over.
Also don’t underestimate the amount of students’ parents who will come up to visit and go to a game; the new incoming freshmen and their families only know a winning team and want to be a part of it.
