I think today (Friday) is going to be a huge crowd. You have the "hometown" teams (Akron and Kent) both playing. You have Ohio, which always travels well and has a huge alumni base in Cleveland. Then, you have a Ball State team that seems to have had a huge uptick in attendance this year, and it is the first time they've been in the semifinals in a while.
Does anybody know what the record is for the semis (which if the matchups are right, seem to draw more than the finals due to having four vs. two teams)?
I would think the 2007 semifinals has to have the record. You had Akron-Kent in one game and Ohio-Miami in the other. IIR, there was 18,000-plus. ... and 14,000 plus the next night for Akron-Miami.
If Ball State brings 3,000-4,000, this year may be able to approach that.
For the finals, as long as Akron wins, I think the finals is a sure bet to draw 12,000 and could approach 14-15,000.
