MU finishes 19th in attendance last year

[muguru]

You may have to click on the photo to enlarge it..But one thing that I noticed was of the top 20 in attendance, MU was 2nd lowest in "pct of capacity" behind only Syracuse. DePaul came in at 101..yet only 26% capacity on average..brutal.

Nebraska coach should be on hot seat. They are 11th in attendance and drawing over  15,000 and exceeding capacity.  They had a losing season and 4 players are transferring.

Creighton holding its own at #5.  Good to see.  I hadn't realized CU basketball was that popular in Omaha.

I wonder how much of a bump joining the BE did for them.

Jays have had well attended games for 15 years.

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

A slight jump assuredly for Creighton but they been seeling out since Altman was coaching.  Solid team n not awhole lot to do on winter nights in Omaha, a city as big as Milwaukee

I read 17K and change for the new arena

Some people in Omaha have nothing better to do than invest in the stock market.

Aside from the top 5 from 6-20 we are the ONLY school who's average attendance is higher than the undergrad enrollment and, without doing the math, Creighton has to be the only school in the top 20 who's average attendance is greater than 1.5X their undergrad student body.

Being in the top 20 with a student body of 8,500 is pretty damned impressive (btw - Creighton undergrad is 4,200)

It's extremely generous to Omaha to put it on equal footing with Milwaukee.

Milwaukee is the 39th-largest MSA in the United States, in the same company as Nashville, Memphis, and New Orleans.  Omaha is 59th, which puts it alongside Worcester, Mass., and Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The Milwaukee MSA has 1.57 million people. The Omaha MSA has 924,000. Even if the comment is limited to the City limits, Milwaukee still has approximately a third more people than Omaha.

My impression from the few times I have found myself in Omaha was that the City was "A more boring Grand Rapids."

Next time your in Omaha go to a Creighton game they are a lot of fun.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Omaha
Somewhere in middle America
Get right to the heart of matters
It's the heart that matters more
I think you'd better turn your ticket in
And get your money right at the door

Story is full of it.
Bradley Center has 11,000 upper bowl seats.
New Arena will seats 17,500. About 6,000 in the upper deck.
