Is poor.  Turn on the Mizzou-Auburn game.  I bet Missouri State has 3 times higher attendance at their games.

I just think TV has killed college basketball attendance in general unless you are a perennial program.  Almost every game is on TV.  Why pay $50 bucks for a weeknight game that you can watch from home.

I agree. We need to downsize BWA to just the lower bowl. I miss Barnhill. That was like a Cameron indoor. I'd like to see that size venue

I'm sure poor performance from those teams over the last few years has played a role in it also. 
If a man speaks and no woman is around to hear him, is he still wrong?

For schools that have a fan base that covers the majority of the state...tv has hurt attendance. I live 4.5 hours away so I am thrilled all their games are on tv...but I imagine it hurts the nearby fans who can sit at home and save money
Usually in EI where intelligent conversation is required

This. Or make the top all luxury suites behind glass etc. Sell the rooms to corporations willing to pay for it and let the fans sit in the lower bowl.
How many seats in the lower bowl? 14k? That's not too shabby. About right actually.

How about just get a decent program going. History shows we will fill it better than this. Just not going to watch crappy ball.

Man, I'm heading back to Columbia soon for work. Looks like I can get a ticket.

Anderson is working hard so we can compete with Mizzou for most pathetic team and fan attendance in the SEC. He just needs more time!

I heard there was talk of a boycott but couldn't find enough interested fans to ask to participate....
