From the Memphis-UALR Postgame Notes...

In the countdown to the 4-million attendance mark in the 21st century, the Tigers now are under 35,000 fans away (33,952) from reaching that mark.

When the 4-milllion mark is reached, Memphis will be only the fifth school at the NCAA Division I level to do so, joining Kentucky, Louisville, North Carolina and Syracuse.

FedExForum Home Court Advantage
Memphis now has 166 wins at FedExForum (166-18; .902 winning percentage) since the arena opened in 2004-05. The 166 wins by the Tigers at FedExForum are the most home court victories by an NCAA Division I program since 2004-05.

Protect the house.

Next 3 home games:

12/21/13 vs SEMO
12/28/13 vs Jackson State
01/04/14 vs Cincinnati

If we average 15K for the next 2, then the Jan 4 game vs Cincy will be the one that puts us over the top.

I have a certificate somewhere from the game in the coliseum where we hit 1 million.

If you ever run across it that'd be pretty cool to see.

I used to work at the Coliseum. Depending on the building's schedule, the court might get put down the day of the game, the day before or a few days before.

If the court was down the Tigers would practice at the Coliseum. I'd go watch them practice.

Those were the days.

Do you remember when that was, roughly?

I'll be there visiting after Christmas, so I'll get to help put us over the top!

May not be able to use my season tix because as of now I'm still on crutches and can't climb stairs safely.

But if I have to buy another ticket my cousin will use mine like he usually does when I'm not there and that's just one more.

I found mine they gave out in February 1985 when we hit 3 million:

Wow. And we did it without a marquee home schedule compared to the four listed above. It really is amazing and a tribute to Tiger Nation.
