For Drake, highest attendance in Knapp Center is around 7150. At Vet's Auditorium, had 12,000 several times.

The record at Southern used to be something like 10,104. But the building was reconfigured (replaced old bleachers with chair seats) in the last few years and I think the capacity is around 8,300.

I was able to go back and find it. Since the renovations in 2010, the highest-attended game was March 1st, 2014 at home against Illinois State. This is about 50 more than the next-best game, 8,284 against Wichita State in the 2015-16 season.

I believe that both of those games were considered sellouts.

Don't know about other schools but I know SIU counts tickets sold vs. butts in seats. That may have an effect of the attendance numbers. Lots of season ticket holder seats don't get used for every game.

It's the same for the Aces. Most of their 3800 crowds are more like 2500.

Wichita will be missed for providing a majority of attendance to schools like Loyola now that they are gone.
