Here's info on attendance for the MVC tournament over the last 4 years. Keep in mind there are a lot of holes in the attendance numbers for the tournament this year, so I also included numbers per game.

Championship game tonight is on Fox Sports Midwest at 7pm. It sounds like both teams will start their aces, so hopefully it will be a good game.

First of all, the world has completely turned upside down when WSU fans are rooting for Creighton, especially in baseball.

Second, next year's numbers won't even come close to 2010 or 2011 figures considering the park only has a capacity of 1,500. The fact that schools even voted for a locale which has a capacity of only 1500 is the real travesty though. Anything to keep it away from the western schools, I guess.

I caught the game as Fox was going to a commercial. As they flashed a camera at the "crowd", I counted 37 people in the stands. Impressive.

What a proud moment for the conference, sure to impress any BCS conference naysayers. Does this mean the Valley gets 4 bids or 1?

Great job Jays. An impressive run to the championship. Now go surprise a couple more teams at the regional.
