Mizzou drew just over 4100 on Saturday.

They showed a clip on the news and it looked more like a practice than a game.

In their defense, they were under a winter storm warning. They got around six inches of snow with some wind. They aren't quite as adept at handling that as we are.

Since they built their new arena they have only had three sellout and that was the three times KU has played there. Every game I have seen of theirs there are open seats all over.

I went to the ISU game there last year. I wasn't impressed with the amosphere. I was impressed with WJ's tip-in however. :wink:

I loved going to games at the Hearns Center. I have not been to the new WalMart Arena. If you ever read Tigerboard.com, you will see lots of complaints about the atmosphere the new place. Just goes to show that you don't always win when you sell out to big corporate money.

I think attendance at DI college basketball games are down in lots of places for two reasons.

1. Prices have went way up epsecially if you include donations etc.

2. Teams have soft schedules that don't inteest people at the higher price.
