We lead in attendance

How many of those other schools have curtains?

But Baylor sells out every game

We're better than Kansas!

I don’t understand Wrubell’s obsession with attendance. If everyone else had an arena the same size as ours

It’s fun to “win” at something!

Odd. Oklahoma was half-empty on Tuesday but their average is near full capacity?

At the end of the day, the MBB program is making great money rn, which matters

Feb 11, 1:59pm

This word, attendance, I don’t think it means what you think it means. Lots of teams fail to fill their arena.

And if percentages were what got used, I wouldn't object as much

It’s more showing we belong. We have a big football stadium and basketball arena. Our football team is lacking but

95% of a 10k arena is not even close to 80% of a 19k arena

Warner

Feb 11, 11:57am

So you're saying teams 11-14 would have double the attendance if they had the capacity?

CLCougar

Feb 11, 12:04pm

I think that’s unknowable

FieroCoug, is also an Oklahoma fan and says it's never been a MBB school. Their attendance at the BYU game

CLCougar

There is probably a reason arenas are built to a certain size

Big 12 Revenue matters.

Feb 11, 1:27pm

Are they selling out their current arena? If not, what difference would having

thirdgencoug

Feb 11, 2:33pm

If that were true I think Baylor would’ve gotten a bigger arena.

its easy to understand coming from BYU's history of having a P5/P4 fanbase but

Would be better to see in terms of capacity

Phssst. Wait till next year when the UofU is in the B12. They will show

a big drop-off there after the top 4

lightmann

Feb 11, 11:53am

How pathetic that Utah, with their rich history, will be dead last in attendance next year

SlantRoute

Feb 11, 1:58pm

Don’t understand why Baylor’s new arena is so small

therock

Feb 11, 3:40pm

Baylor is not a traditional powerhouse. They are a smaller city and university

cwilke1

Feb 11, 5:29pm

I didn't get it either, but a Baylor fan on here provided a great explanation.

Mitty

Feb 11, 8:30pm

It's true we wouldn't. Weeknight games especially non conference

Sic'Em Beers

Feb 12, 3:24am

I want to see % of capacity

conetah

Feb 11, 3:46pm

I believe these capacities are correct.

Biff

Feb 11, 4:09pm

It’s sucks playing in all these tiny gyms

Your Royal Blueness

Feb 11, 5:19pm

I’m shocked the OU numbers are that high. I was at game and only 40% full.
