Belmont is really marketing basketball season tickets. They are making sure everyone in the area knows they are in the OVC. I’m wondering how much that will really translate into increased attendance.

Although attendance has improved over the last several years, the reality is that the average attendance goes up at an average of 73 per year. Average attendance for the 2005-06 season was 1,584. Last year, average attendance topped two thousand at 2,023.

So what do you think attendance is going to do this year?

Historically, we have not seen a real increase for the APSU or TSU games. Hopefully now that they mean more, we will see an increase. I don't know how well TTU travels but they are close enough to bring a few if they do. Next year will be better as Murray and APSU come to the Curb.

As for EIU, SEMO,or others, I doubt they will draw more than fgcu or uscu did.
