I wonder how many of those 18,000 seats got filled up last year.

How many times has the arena been full? Um 17+ is about as big a crowd as its been (last night against Tulsa, 17,611). Averaging 15-16K per game. Look, I'm not on here to get into one of those attendance p!$$ing matches, I just made a statement regarding the Tigers playing the late game based from a business decision stand point. Actually, I think the conference tourney SHOULD be played at a neutral site every year. So anyway, y'all come on down to Memphis, should be a fun tourney. Serious question, how many WSU fans are expected to be here for the tourney?

I expect 1k.

Edit: And that was kind of my point of saying stick in Wichita. If it was a “business” decision then Wichita would probably bring the most money. But it’s not. You were thrown a huge advantage and then you make a complaint about it.

Yeah, I think 1000 is a fair guess. If we were having a better year it would probably be more. The drive to Memphis is as easy as the drive to STL, with the added bonus of not having to drive through the turdhole of Columbia, MO.

The drive to Memphis is two hours longer than St. Louis, isn't it

Yeah, about two hours longer, but all interstate or four lane if you go through Tulsa and Little Rock. 8 1/2 hours of drive time.
