We lead in attendance

How many of those other schools have curtains?

But Baylor sells out every game

LaserCoug

Feb 11, 10:57am

Of course. Built a tiny new arena. Easy to sell it out.

Cougarbib

Feb 11, 11:00am

Wait, does that apply to small football stadiums too?

LaserCoug

Feb 11, 11:05am

Yes. If Baylor built a 35,000 seat stadium, it would sell out as well.

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?

The never ending battle between paid and actual attendance.

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

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

Indy Coug

Feb 11, 11:31am

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

Why do you think that is even relevant?

Cougarbib

Feb 11, 5:18pm

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

Indy Coug

Feb 11, 12:33pm

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

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

Pasadena

Big 12 Revenue matters.

roseyscenario

Feb 11, 1:27pm

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

thirdgencoug

Feb 11, 2:33pm

Unless those schools sell out - that size difference is irrelevant. U need a

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

Exactly. BYU in that huge city Provo has a better fan base. Better fan support

Utah County has 730,000 residents and Mclennan county 230,000 residents.

As I said, BYU has a far superior fanbase - Local and National.

Cougarbib

Feb 11, 9:40pm

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

Sic'Em Beers

I want to see % of capacity

It’s sucks playing in all these tiny gyms

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