And you thought Iowa's attendance is bad

Mizzou drew just over 4100 on Saturday.

They showed a clip on the news and it looked more like a practice than a game.

In their defense, they were under a winter storm warning. They got around six inches of snow with some wind. They aren't quite as adept at handling that as we are.
 
and earlier in the week they got hit pretty hard with the ice storm..many didnt have power early in the week
 
I went there 2 or 3 years ago and watched ISU and the crowd was horrible also...just not near the same it used to be
 
Since they built their new arena they have only had three sellout and that was the three times KU has played there. Every game I have seen of theirs there are open seats all over.
 
I went to the ISU game there last year. I wasn't impressed with the amosphere. I was impressed with WJ's tip-in however. :wink:

I loved going to games at the Hearns Center. I have not been to the new WalMart Arena. If you ever read Tigerboard.com, you will see lots of complaints about the atmosphere the new place. Just goes to show that you don't always win when you sell out to big corporate money.
 
If you've seen the SouthPark episode when they spoofed Family Guy. The first words Peter's mouth everytime were well...

It was the first thing i thought of when i saw the topic.
 
I think attendance at DI college basketball games are down in lots of places for two reasons.

1. Prices have went way up epsecially if you include donations etc.

2. Teams have soft schedules that don't inteest people at the higher price.
