The eye test for fans outside of the conference

I'd still have Koch at the top, but Gentile and Knapp also play well on TV. (sorry for any spelling errors)

The Ford Center is probably at the bottom, fans are too far away with it being primarily a hockey arena, with a true basketball layout not available.


Koch is very good due to always being full and rowdy, but the camera angle is super low. It is like the opposite of Iba Arena in Stillwater which is super high.


Huh? Pre 2010 it was like that but that's been adjusted now. Have you not watched a WSU game on TV in the last 7 years?

Does it still feel that low to others? It certainly used to, but they moved the camera bank to the top of the arena 4-5 years ago which made a huge difference. I don't really notice it any more, relative to other NCAA games.

I know I've watched one each of the last 7 years. I apparently haven't noticed. I guess I just can't get this video out of my head when I think of CKA. While searching I did find more recent video and it has been improved. Don't know why I never noticed before.

Most others count their attendance as People at the game.

Big Difference and great point

Nobody reports butts in seats any more. That ended like 20 years ago.


Yes. I think they missed that when I posted it earlier.

Is the Redbirds Arena angle lower than CKA, or did Cotton just jump higher in that video?

It's not always easy for the Ramblers to win at Gentile on a winter weeknight when there are no students and 500 quiet fans in attendance.
