Home Arena Record Attendance?

by **PantherU** » May 1st, 2017, 7:13 pm

Hey guys, I've been putting together a table regarding attendance, and I'm having trouble finding the single-game MBB attendance records for MVC teams, preferably since 2002-03.

I believe I have the right numbers for these teams: Bradley (11,444), Evansville (10,034), Illinois State (10,625). I can't find the record single game attendance for the other teams.

Bonus points if you can guess the three MVC teams who had their worst attendance in the past 15 years this season.

I believe MSU is 11, 077.

You can find that in the media guide.

Go to page 155. It goes back to 1988-1989.

Oops. I misread your post. You are looking for single game record attendance. That might be a little harder to find.

Evansville's is at least 12,116 on 12-8-10 vs North Carolina at Roberts Stadium

I don't have the Murray St number in front of me, but I do have a video from an hour before the doors opened. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OMGc6o9z8SU

Over 8,800 (capacity 8,600) versus St Mary's. That game also set the record for noise at an indoor basketball arena at 138dB.

UNI-- 22,700

UNI vs Iowa 1/3/90

McLeod Center--7400 vs Illinois State 2010

Capacity since reduced after suites were added. New max is 7150. Last done vs Wichita 2015.

Bradley, Evansville, SIU.

I'm sure Evansville's all-time attendance record was over 13,000 at the old barn before they installed chair backs in 1991. But last 15 years is probably the UNC game. For anyone curious, the other candidate that came to mind (Purdue in '05) was 11,726.

Loyola's record in the renovated arena is, I believe, 4,577 vs Wichita in 2014.

Bradley hosted Michigan St early in the 2007-08 season and the attendance for that game was 11, 597.
