Valley Attendance

[ptownbraves]

Expect to see at least 4-5 MVC games sell out in Chicago.

If the biggest draw last year was UIC and attendance just cracked 3,000, where will these extra 1,500 fans come from for the "premier" MVC games? I know there are a lot of BU alumni in Chicago, but 1/3 of the arena seems like a lot to expect. Is there an increased LU student/alumni interest with the switch to the MVC?

When is the last time Loyola sold out a game? When is the last time each of the Valley members have sold out a game at home? The last sell out of a home game with a Valley opponent?

WSU has sold out every game in Koch Arena this year and sold out the last home game last year against Evansville. WSU sold out 5 of the 9 Valley games last year. Didn't sell out Drake, Indiana St, Illinois St, and SIU

Here is some additional information on their arena regarding attendance/capactiy.

Looks like a fantastic venue when full and quite the home court advantage (if they fill it up).
It's certainly a place I want to catch a game.

I miss Chicago, will definitely head to Chicago to see my Dawgs someday. I am a bandwagon fan so I will only go after we improve.

For Evansville the last sellout was the Indiana game in 2011.
The last MVC opponent to sell out was probably Creighton in 2003. Its been a long time.

What does Roberts hold compaired to the Ford Center?

UNI sold out Creighton and Wichita last year.

VCU was just shy of a sell out 2 weeks ago.

I would imagine we'll sell out Wichita for sure this year (ESPN2 game), Drake is a Saturday night and will be close. MSU is a wildcard, we usually have great crowds for our ESPN games, but its a noon tip. Hard to know...

What does Roberts hold compaired to the Ford Center?

Ford Center is slightly smaller than Roberts was, about 10k vs 12k.
