Nice showing at the BMO Brad on National Marquette Day.
Too lazy to search the history. Is that a Top 10 crowd?

May wanna text Too Tan Tommy. He had a pulse on that kinda chit.
Thanks. Obviously any update wouldn't move yesterday's game IN but I had thought ND last year was way up the chart. Perhaps there are some more recent games out there that now make the list.
Props to the students yesterday who attended. I like to see the upper bowl fill. Yesterday they got within about 4-5 rows of the top.
Great crowd! I think it help because it was going to be a early night game at 5pm.
Went to 8 of those. I remember feeling like every other game broke the "largest crowd to watch a college basketball game in the state of Wisconsin!" record.

Yes, though by the middle part of the 2nd half, there were a lot of empty student seats in the upper bowl......

When I was at MU, during the KO, Deane years, 15-16,0000 got you a top 10 attendance.

I think you're naive to think that the season ticket holder base won't decrease by at least 500 this off season. It has already been shrinking modestly the last several years during a time of unprecedented success and national attention for the team.

+1. A couple years back they got cocky and raised the student price to $125. If I'm not mistaken, that went back to $99 more recently. They ought do the same thing in the south end for season ticket holders and drop the corners to $175.

I wanna say that my freshman year (2011-12) the tickets were $120 and if you notice there are no top 10 attendance numbers despite having the most talented team that year since ive been here. This year im pretty sure I paid $90 for my tickets.

I'm not naive about anything, as I didn't make any statement, other than what you mean by your first post.
I'm sure you don't know what the number are in what they might lose. This year, season ticket sales went up! The prices are the same in 2014-15. Plus, Wisconsin & Arizona State in the non-conference. So, who knows.
I can't wait for the day the only available in-housing "seats" are on the catwalk.

True enough. It'll be great if this year's average attendance is actually a bump up from what has been a steady but slow decline over the last few years. Saturday's crowd was very good. The weeknight Providence crowd a couple weeks back was as bad as I have ever seen it for as conference game the last few years irrespective of the announced figure.

The loss of Cuse, Conn, Ville, WVU, ND etc will most certainly have some effect on ticket sales.

I think the problem is the jump from corner to sideline upstairs. I sit in 441, and if we moved over one section to 442, it jumps from $275 to $450. I'd consider moving over for a little better view if they were $75 more instead of $175.

PC was at 6pm. It snow a bit that day. Who knows why people don't show up.
For myself, I'm at every game! I wish people who choose not to go to a game, give your tickets to someone who can go.

That can't be true for this year, as season ticket sales went up by 600.
WVU has been gone for two years already. L'ville was not on the home schedule, last year. Plus, UConn didn't pump attendance at all last season.

A lot of season ticket holders are from the greater Chicago area, Madison, or Green Bay. Sometimes weeknight drives in the snow aren't fun.

Don Walker has put numbers out on his blogs. He broke it down by student numbers and general public numbers.
Plus, you can kind've guess when you look at the smallest non-conference crowd of last season to this season. It's fair to say not many people are buying single game tickets for the 2nd home game of the year versus Grambling at 6pm on a Tuesday night. That paid attendance that night was 13,372. Which is the smallest crowd of the season. Marquette last season, had crowd of 12,587 & 12,679.

It might also have had something to do with a team that was woefully under performing at the time. Again, my hope is that the annual attendance slide is broken this year. And a solid run the rest of the way (including in the NCAA) might just pave the way for relative strength at the box office next year.
It'll be interesting to see the announced crowd on Wednesday as well as the 'eye test' of butts in the seats, both in the student section and upper bowl generally.

But .. it's not just one season's schedule. Season ticket holders, with the point system .. have an investment they've paid into for years, not just the donation $$s but in terms of year after year of paying for tickets as well.
Where I'm going with that is .. having a "down" schedule one year isn't a big deal. But .. now people deciding on whether to keep their season ticket point investment also will look at the future .. a future without Notre Dame games, without UConn games, without Louisville, Pitt, Cincy, Syracuse.
There's little doubt that that investment has lost some value with a weaker BE and loss of caché. -- The bar was set really high during the BE years no doubt, we were spoiled.

Not only are we ahead of last year, we are also ahead of 2012's 15,138 average.
Go back and look at this thread
http://www.muscoop.com/index.php?topic=36039.msg449465#msg449465
It goes on for 8 pages whining about our "collapse" in attendance. Buzz was blamed for not being as charismatic as AL, Milwaukee was blamed for losing interest, the kids were blamed for not supporting the school and football was blamed for dominating the sports landscape.
So a funny thing happened on the way to the decline and fall of MU basketball, we are not at a three year high in attendance with more big games coming to potentially add to it.
How did that happen????

MUFan, I also sit in 441. for the non-conference games (except OSU) and most weekday BE games we usually can easily slide over to 442 or 443 as many of the season ticket holders don't show. I have 4 seats so $175 more per (plus I think there is a $50-$100 mandatory donation per seat) a section makes it a non-option for us. I too would consider it for $75 per.
What row are you?
I'm sure we're successfully riding the coattails of the NCAA success, especially last year. The Grambling numbers are actually quite impressive.
My thought process is somewhat similar to topper's. Sure all the folks who hold long term lower bowl tickets will be back every year. I'm just a bit worried about the marginal fan who may have decided to 'opt in' around our joining the BEast. That could be a more fluid base. And that's before we even consider the 600 who jumped on board this year.
I sit in 442, stay away! :D
I think many love Creighton, Butler & Xavier, that it's no real loss losing Pitt, Cincy & UConn for people buying season tickets. I've heard old timers say if we stay with the AAC of Tulane, East Carolina, USF, Houston, Tulsa, etc. many would not be season ticket holders.

You have a good point there. While we all enjoyed great games vs Pitt, Uconn, and Cincy over the years, some of MU alumni base has Jesuit overlap with Creighton and Xavier alum... ie maybe it's a brother, sister, cousin, uncle who goes/went there. For the casual fan, that type of connection is probably a draw for some families to attend more-so than a random Pitt/Uconn/Cincy game. I'm not saying this is huge, but it's gotta exist.
