Home Arena Record Attendance?

Postby PantherU » May 1st, 2017, 7:13 pm

Hey guys, I've been putting together a table regarding attendance, and I'm having trouble finding the single-game MBB attendance records for MVC teams, preferably since 2002-03.

I believe I have the right numbers for these teams: Bradley (11,444), Evansville (10,034), Illinois State (10,625). I can't find the record single game attendance for the other teams.

Bonus points if you can guess the three MVC teams who had their worst attendance in the past 15 years this season.

You can find that in the media guide.

Go to page 155. It goes back to 1988-1989.

Oops. I misread your post. You are looking for single game record attendance. That might be a little harder to find.

I don't have the Murray St number in front of me, but I do have a video from an hour before the doors opened. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OMGc6o9z8SU

Over 8,800 (capacity 8,600) versus St Mary's. That game also set the record for noise at an indoor basketball arena at 138dB.

Capacity since reduced after suites were added. New max is 7150. Last done vs Wichita 2015.

Bradley, Evansville, SIU.

I'm sure Evansville's all-time attendance record was over 13,000 at the old barn before they installed chair backs in 1991. But last 15 years is probably the UNC game. For anyone curious, the other candidate that came to mind (Purdue in '05) was 11,726.

Loyola's record in the renovated arena is, I believe, 4,577 vs Wichita in 2014.

Bradley hosted Michigan St early in the 2007-08 season and the attendance for that game was 11, 597.
