    Attendance

    Oops! We ran into some problems.
    http://bradleyfans.com/vb/showthread.php?t=14145


    Saw this on BradleyFans.

    Here are the average home attendance stats for each MVC team last year and this year (through Dec. 28 ). There are 5 teams that are down significantly, and look who has the largest dropoff in attendance-
    School...............2009-10....2008-09....Diff.
    Creighton........... 16,045......15,930....+115
    Wichita State......10,303......10,094....+208
    Bradley................8,839........9,110....-271
    Missouri State.......6,018........7,147...-1,129
    Illinois State.........5,525........7,118...-1,593
    Southern Illinois....4,904........5,892.....-988
    Evansville............4,820........5,863....-1,043
    Northern Iowa......4,690........4,212.....+478
    Indiana State.......4,661........4,009.....+652
    Drake..................3,988........5,101....-1,113
    I would hope that with some great games coming up at home with the students back, that the attendance should creep towards 6,000 by the end of the year.
    The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice, clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him, and consumes his foes on every side; His lightning lights up the world; the earth sees and trembles; the mountains melt like wax before the Lord of all the earth. The heavens proclaim His righteousness and all peoples will see His glory.

    For Evansville to outdraw us is pathetic...

          Re: Attendance

          MSU had a shiny new areana last year, which would have helped the attendance early last year. ISU-R is a bit odd, but maybe they had a better home non conference shedule last year vs this year.

            they all offer doctorate degrees in physical therapy.

                      Re: Attendance

                      Keep in mind we had some pretty crappy weather for a few home games which probably impacted attendance.

                        While it may be interesting those schools don't have football (WSU did have a team at one time)....I think its a stretch to say that is why their men's basketball attendance is high. I would agree with Jeg in the City size makes the biggest difference...but so does arena capacity....and there may be other circumstances. Also of note....2 of those schools are private.

                          Don't write that off to city size. The Waterloo/CF metro area is larger than the Peoria metro area.

                          City size certainly has something to do with it, but the fact that the area can focus on basketball and basketball alone is the bigger factor, IMHO.

                            yep, that was my point. i dont know if i am right or not, but that has never stopped me from arguing something.

                              W/CF is NOT close to the size of the Peoria metro area.
