Good memory. Do you remember capacity prior to going to 11,052? I used to love Johnny Owens announcing the attendance, 'tonight's attendance, a sellout". Pretty much summed things up.

I am sure you can hold your own. As for me, as I am often reminded on here, am an old man and mere shadow of my former self.

Got me on that one, remember the 11,052 from my obsessive looking over of boxscores in my youth.

Thanks.  What I remember is that they added some seats at places where the row was no longer needed and access could be provided another way. What I also seem to remember is that those new seats were a red cloth in contrast to the 'pleather' seats that remained.  Obviously that's all been redone in the decades since.

Spot on again. Wanted to get the number up over 11k. I'm 54, how many years younger are you?

54 is old now?  Man, ruined my day.  I wasn't aware that I'm old, dam$t.

Excellent point!  And probably those ruthless, money-grubbing B-schoolers on top of everything else.

Glow is older than dirt.  I, on the other hand, am exactly the same age as dirt.

Just a heads up for those attending tomorrow evening:  parking will be tight.  I recommend street parking and hoof it in. 

From the ticket office:

We encourage you to arrive early to tomorrow's game as parking will be limited in and around campus. We expect the lines to be long to enter the parking garage for those arriving shortly before game time. In advance of the game we wanted to provide you a few details to ensure your game day experience is a great one!

11,052 if I remember correctly.

I searched on bing and 12.7k was the first thing to come up but that's probably max capacity then given all the other links posted.

With under 11k for basketball games I'm even more convinced that this is the best venue for a game against Oregon. Don't understand why people are "surprised" that the Harvard game was a sellout. Just don't get it. Tournament bball is tournament bball and people show up.

[GooooMarquette]

YES I DO.

10,938

OMG - I remembered that too!  And before checking I'm gonna say 10,746 before that (and come back and edit if I'm wrong).

[GooooMarquette]

Just checked and I had it right!!!

Goooo

You know you have a top tier program when the average fan knows capacity of the barn, band director, head trainer and PA guy. When you win, you take it all in.

Yep. We've had some really nice years under KO, TC and Buzz, but it was simply a different level under Al.

Remembering Owens give the official attendance wasn't that hard given that it was the same (sellout) game after game after game. When he would start to make the announcement, my brothers and I would actually announce the number with him. Guess that's part of the reason the various capacities have stuck with me for all those years.

I'd have to guess the exact capacity of the BMO.  Closest I can get without looking is that it's closer to 19K than 18K. And I have no clue if it has changed over the years.

That @$$clown has since lowered his price to $225, what a tool! 

The MU ticket office should find out who bought:

Section 115, Row C, Seats 3-6

And, revoke his SEASON TICKETS!

^Section 115 guy is a broker. He has tons of tickets for sale on craigslist for Bucks, Brewers etc

[We R Final Four]

Yep—Brian D. He's one of the few white guy scalpers, in a sea of black guy guy scalpers. He's always down on the NE entrance to the BC slinging his tickets.
