Attendance didn't look to good on TV last night. I checked the box score of the Memphis game & the total was 13,081. Also watching the UC game it didn't look like too many Bearcat fans made the trip

Memphis fans were grumbling that a session ticket was more than a season ticket.
I think you will be able to swing a dead cat around by the tail in the mid court section seating today and not hit anyone.

I could see Louisville fans coming in for the last two days of the tournament on the cheap. Maybe a few UC fans as well.

I really doubt that attendance would be any better at any of the other venues that were talked about outside of the Palestra (due almost entirely to its smaller capacity and not its location or amenities. It's just the state of the conference and having member schools be an average of 500 miles apart from each other. One can only hope that they also come to that conclusion and rotate the venue every year.

I would go for the Palestra or Atlantic City.

Mohegan would have done well. The women's tournament there had a good draw even for the games that did not involve UConn. They are now talking about doing a November or December women's tournament there because attendance was so good.
