Once Proud: Missouri State basketball attendance hits new..

[MissouriValleyUnite]

At Hoops in the Heartland tonight, they interviewed MSU President Clif Smart at halftime. Regarding the new coach, he made a comment to the effect of not to believe everything you read from the writer at the News-Leader.

Wyatt’s attendance series must’ve really got under his skin, because that shot at him was so random. lol

I wanted to see the actual attendance numbers this season. Stadium capacity taken from Wikipedia and attendance numbers taken from the NCAA.



> Indiana State, Drake, Southern Ill, and Murray State top the attendance
> Bradley, Northern Iowa, Illinois State, and Evansville in the middle
> Belmont, Missouri State, UIC, and Valpo at the bottom

Pretty much the expected ones at the bottom. Murray State having that kind of pull while not being a large city is impressive. And Missouri State has too nice of facilities to have this poor of attendance, its a shame.

BU actually stands at about 56.5%. The capacity listed is “old setup” which is still possible. We haven’t had bleachers in the home end zone for a while and we just put up the side bleachers on the away side starting last year. Capacity is usually about 10,400 expandable to the 11k + figure.

UNI also reduced capacity due to some new suites. New capacity is 6497 pushing us to 57.1 capacity this year.

That said, we have to do better and I'm hoping a new administration is going to help with that.
