Attendance

This was written about declining attendance and home atmosphere at Missouri State but I'm sure several other fan bases inside and outside of the MVC can relate. Seems like the moral of the story is these days, more creativity/energy behind fan engagement is needed or attendance will likely suffer.

Drake announced today their allotment for Arch Madness is sold out. Looking forward to a very strong Bulldog presence in St. Louis.

Terrific news!

They’ve always allotted for overflow sales though and adjust the team block accordingly, so they should be able to keep selling all-session packages.

I believe this is correct. SIU sold out I heard and is still selling. We’ve got an entire upper level that hasn’t been used in years. There is definitely room.

^ I hate the black curtain. An empty upper deck is way better on the eye.

Upper deck 1st row is a great seat, so I hope it opens up again. It was for the Covid Tournament (2021), but otherwise it hasn’t been open since at least 2017.

I could see attendance being good this year. 8 fan bases think they can win. SIU is good. We added Murray. Drake sold out their allotment. Who knows who else did. May be a solid crowd!

UNI sold their entire allotment and requested more. I'm sure Bradley will have good numbers. Anybody have any idea on Belmont, Missouri State, Illinois State or Indiana State? We know Valpo, Evansville and UIC will be sparse.

If you're on the fence (and I know nobody on this board is) you've got until February 19th to order through the schools.

Yep, I believe each school has a minimum required number to purchase. Thought it was a few hundred or so in past years but not sure if that has changed. They can get assigned more if the demand is there.

Haven't been to Arch Madness in awhile but guessing this will be the best attended one maybe since Wichita left. Lot of teams think they have a chance and you get 2 extra fanbases there.

I won't go back until they can match the numbers in 2007.

What did they have for the championship game? 22,000?
