I always wonder how they come up with these lists, but this is pretty good company. I've heard that when MU hosts the first rounds of the NCAA tourney, they are some of the best attended games. No idea if there's any truth to it ... but that speaks to being something of a college basketball town, right?

When MU hosts the NCAA'S  its one of the first regions or the first to sell out
It always sells out!
