I don't really care if it's well attended as long as Ft Worth/Dickies Arena gives us a big guarantee.
This. Better be a nice contract to lock up 3 years at an unproven location.
Agreed
Should've been no more than a 2 yr contract
Especially, that last yr., 2022,
W/ the same facility also hosting the NCAA 2nd/3rd rd tourney games that yr.
It could "easily' slice N2 attendance & tix sales
4 the AAC Tourney being held only a week B4 the NCAA event
iMHO IF u want good attendance #'s
@ minimum AAC Tourney needs 2 B held @
An AAC school's host arena
otherwise u'll continue 2 get sparse interest & crowds
@ "neutral' venues like Ft Worth.
Also think those 12th to 9th seed games should B held
early in the week @ the higher seeded team's home venue
Those games would draw much better @ home
than @ the tourney venue where no one goes
Plus I'd think it's easier 2 sell a 3 day tourney tix vs. a 4 day tourney tix
