MVC Arch Madness

[Heinro]

The Savis Center is a dump compared to the Sprint Center. Plus the area around the Sprint Center is much more developed now. Don't get me wrong, I think the station is actually decent but KC is better. I don't understand the logic of at least not rotating between the cities.

Plus for my own selfish reasons, I live about 30 minutes away from KC.

San Diego St. will have their conference tournament in NYC next year, that's a long drive

Actually they are not joining the Big East in basketball. They will be in the WAC.

Big West, not WAC.

Coast to coast is a road trip; 12 hours is a long drive.

Sorry if already posted but has anyone got their hands on the "seating chart" for where each school's block of seats will be located? I can't remember how early they are released...

It has not been released yet. I'll dig back through the posts from last year to see when it was announced in 2011.

My buddy just got our tickets for the MVC. We are in section 114, row F. This is ISU's section...

Update:


The MVC has sold 5,959 all-session tickets to its institutions as of Feb. 8. That’s up 17% from last year. We sold 5,105 by March 1 last year (and we still have 3 weeks to go).

Creighton’s 2,575 all-session tickets sold this year represents a league record.

296 for a 3rd place Missouri St. team is a bit dissapointing, but I would imagine that a lot of their fans just drive to St. Louis and purchase at the gate....right?

You think Elgin wants Creighton playing on Sunday or risk a half empty arena on CBS? And yes, most MSU fans I know who live within a drive's distance do not buy tickets through the school.

Like many have said before, MSU fans will show up for Saturday and Sunday (just like our huge crowd for Sunday last year). No need to buy an all-session when you only have to drive 3 hours or live in St. Louis like the huge part of our alumni base does.

This is our first year getting all-sessions for that very reason.

I wonder what kind of deal could be made today for 500 bandwaggon WSU fans to buy discounted all session tickets off 500 fairweathered/Nebraska Bluejay fans?
