I give Memphis a pass...they will get it back as soon as they start winning again. I attended a game there when Cuse played them and it was legit sold out (or within a couple hundred).

Moody only holds 7K so there isn't much they can do to raise the attendance. I guess you could say their capacity sucks, but then they probably wouldn't have the same kind of home court advantage that they have now.

The Reynolds Center holds 8355, or something like that. So we're obviously not gonna have 8500+ at any time.

This is the highest our attendance has been since Haith got here I believe so that is a positive at least.

Why was the BOK Center built? Over 19k and beautiful...but surely has to be losing money.

Hopefully Tulsa can get back in the Top 25 and host a few games there in the future.

You should probably just lurk, you're not looking very smart right now. You're fan of a team who doesn't play road games till New year's so my guess is you also have little experience outside of the frozen tundra's pimple on Manhattan's ass Syracuse, New York.

That wasn't built for the university, in fact we don't want to play more than a couple games there so it can remain a neutral court for the NCAA we use it like Wichita does their downtown stadium.

The BOK has finished in the top 25 in the nation in tickets sold pretty much every year since it opened, been top 50 in the world multiple times, and won awards as best arena in the country.

Why drive all the way down to the BOK for a neutral court when you have one on campus?

Not trying to talk ****, just sad observation.

Not true. Memphis averaged over 16,000 in its first year in the AAC in 2014 which was 10th nationally. For years in Cusa Memphis averaged more than that and was always in the top ten.

I don't think it's "inconceivable" at all that if Memphis gets the program going again attendance could be right back up there.

I asked a simple question...I realize the rules of playing in a nearby local arena for the NCAA tournament...why I said a few games son.

The BOK in Top 25 for concert ticket sales is impressive...glad it is working out for you. I just saw there were no major league teams playing in there. I plead guilty for not realizing a AA level Minor League Hockey team played there along with the concerts. I'm sure they are paying big bucks in rent for their 6000 fans in a 19000 seat arena.

You know why Cuse plays very few games on the road before Jan 1st? Cuz they can.
Apparently Tulsa can't offer guarantees for November and December games. The reason I suspect is because you would lose money playing low to mid majors in your arena.

Syracuse is beginning the Rutgers death spiral

I agree...stealing one of top SMU's best recruits in football this year is going to cost us games.

Memphis has the most potential for the highest consistent attendance in this conference. That shouldn't be even slightly questioned. Our average attendance over the last 35 years is over 11,000. And it's only that low because a good portion of that time was played in an arena that only held 10,000. 16,000+ through the majority of the 2000's and early 2010's. You're a Tulane fan. You've been in the same conference as Memphis for a long time. You should know better!

Your logic is FOS and faulty. BTW, Cuse played at Georgetown (won) and neutral games vs UConn (won) and Kansas (loss) before Christmas this season. So GTHOH with your tired old shtick.

One school regularly draws 20-35,000 fans to the best games of the year, the other school? Yeah, not so much. Cuse plays a tough enough schedule in the ACC (and the Big East back in the day) and it usually plays named opponents for made for TV games and tournaments. It hasn't run away from playing old rivals either. The program chooses to play the vast majority of games at home in Nov/Dec because they can. 18k tix at $40+ a pop allows you to play n pay whomever you want. BTW, props to Wichita St for coming in one time and taking the money and the win. UConn is a big boy school and they schedule similar typed schedules...cuz they can.

You know when you start crap against a fan who follows a college basketball team that outdraws your football team I'd STFU...

Duke, Kentucky, UCLA all go on the road. It's the same ol story with Syracuse and you spent a Todge like post trying to explain it away. Too think you were so good for so long but couldn't win a championship because you've spent your whole life playing at home. Let's not even get started on the shadyness of your program as a whole or the bs your coach pulls every other year when you struggle either in the old Big East or the ACC. We deserve to be in are conference is tough. So what we didn't play on the road and so what we stunk up conference play.

Not really sure what you're doing on our little ol' AAC board but your little bout of ignorance and huge school insecurities got you in a place you probably don't want to be. So run along now. .

Hurl inaccuracies, change the subject, write nonsensical sentences, try to declare victory and tell me to leave. Sigh...

Funny you used those examples: Cuse, Duke, UK and UCLA. None of those schools played more than 1 true away game prior to Christmas this season. So once again you look moronic. Almost all elite programs stack the preseason deck...TU4ever hits rock bottom, yet he continues to dig.

Couldn't win a Championship? I'll call BS: 2003 Champs and two Helms back before the NCAA Tourney (I hear that is all the rage now, just taking UCF's lead). Throw in two national runner-ups and several other F4 teams along with Big East Championships and you still look clueless.

Shadyness of program? You hired Frank Haith a guy who cut n ran away from his mess at Mizzou Pot, Kettle, Black

You might not like Jim Boeheim...but he has never run away from a challenge. He is loyal to a fault to his players, coworkers, and school. I'm safe in saying Frank Haith will never win a Natty, go to the HoF or coach on the Olympic team.

I follow this board because I like to keep up on several teams here who are past and present rivals and a few teams I like. I didn't know you are the arbiter of participants here? I thought that was the Shocker guys.

You should probably just lurk, you're not looking very smart right now.

I give Memphis a pass...they will get it back as soon as they start winning again. I attended a game there when Cuse played them and it was legit sold out (or within a couple hundred).

I think Tiger attendance peaked in the past for a number or reasons, but it certainly will rise significantly upon a return to relevancy or provision of legitimate hope for better days.

AAC Conf Game Average: 5,755

Everybody below 3 is embarrassing AF save Memphis

I give Memphis a pass...they will get it back as soon as they start winning again. I attended a game there when Cuse played them and it was legit sold out (or within a couple hundred).

I've only been able to make the first two home games (Little Rock and NO) and the Cincy game but the crowds sure looked bigger than 6,300 to me.

this was the crowd at Memphis vs Cincy just a week ago

The CIncy game was the largest of the year I believe. 12k announced.

I think Tiger attendance peaked in the past for a number or reasons, but it certainly will rise significantly upon a return to relevancy or provision of legitimate hope for better days.

I saw in person. Your fan base is smart and knowledgeable. I saw Memphis play at your arena and saw them in San Antonio at the F4.

Better times and crowds I expect are coming

LOL

I asked a simple question...I realize the rules of playing in a nearby local arena for the NCAA tournament...why I said a few games son.

The BOK in Top 25 for concert ticket sales is impressive...glad it is working out for you. I just saw there were no major league teams playing in there. I plead guilty for not realizing a AA level Minor League Hockey team played there along with the concerts. I'm sure they are paying big bucks in rent for their 6000 fans in a 19000 seat arena.

You know why Cuse plays very few games on the road before Jan 1st? Cuz they can.
Apparently Tulsa can't offer guarantees for November and December games. The reason I suspect is because you would lose money playing low to mid majors in your arena.

Nothing like getting **** talked by a fan of a coach who cries to get in the tournament.

The reason you have all your games at home is because you can't win on the road.

You should probably just lurk, you're not looking very smart right now.

Your logic is FOS and faulty. BTW, Cuse played at Georgetown (won) and neutral games vs UConn (won) and Kansas (loss) before Christmas this season. So GTHOH with your tired old shtick.

One school regularly draws 20-35,000 fans to the best games of the year, the other school? Yeah, not so much. Cuse plays a tough enough schedule in the ACC (and the Big East back in the day) and it usually plays named opponents for made for TV games and tournaments. It hasn't run away from playing old rivals either. The program chooses to play the vast majority of games at home in Nov/Dec because they can. 18k tix at $40+ a pop allows you to play n pay whomever you want. BTW, props to Wichita St for coming in one time and taking the money and the win. UConn is a big boy school and they schedule similar typed schedules...cuz they can.

You know when you start crap against a fan who follows a college basketball team that outdraws your football team I'd STFU...

All I hear is excuses.

Duke, Kentucky, UCLA all go on the road. It's the same ol story with Syracuse and you spent a Todge like post trying to explain it away. Too think you were so good for so long but couldn't win a championship because you've spent your whole life playing at home. Let's not even get started on the shadyness of your program as a whole or the bs your coach pulls every other year when you struggle either in the old Big East or the ACC. We deserve to be in are conference is tough. So what we didn't play on the road and so what we stunk up conference play.

Not really sure what you're doing on our little ol' AAC board but your little bout of ignorance and huge school insecurities got you in a place you probably don't want to be. So run along now. .

Hurl inaccuracies, change the subject, write nonsensical sentences and try to declare victory and tell me to leave.

Funny you used those examples: Cuse, Duke, UK and UCLA. None of those schools played more than 1 true away game prior to Christmas this season. So once again you look moronic. Almost all elite programs stack the preseason deck...TU4ever hits rock bottom, yet he continues to dig.

Couldn't win a Championship? I'll call BS: 2003 Champs and two Helms back before the NCAA Tourney (I hear that is all the rage now, just taking UCF's lead). Throw in two national runner-ups and several other F4 teams along with Big East Championships and you still look clueless.

Shadyness of program? You hired Frank Haith a guy who cut n ran away from his mess at Mizzou Pot, Kettle, Black

You might not like Jim Boeheim...but he has never run away from a challenge. He is loyal to a fault to his players, coworkers, and school. I'm safe in saying Frank Haith will never win a Natty, go to the HoF or coach on the Olympic team.

I follow this board because I like to keep up on several teams here who are past and present rivals and a few teams I like. I didn't know you are the arbiter of participants here? I thought that was the Shocker guys.

You should probably just lurk, you're not looking very smart right now.

Dude your full of ****, just stop. You have been a good program for almost 40 years, you have one championship. One. Because you have fattened up on home nothing's.

Syracuse has been known for not leaving the state of New York for virtually an entire season. Don't show me one year show me a program who has done it since the early 1990s.

Ah yes the Haith issue at Missouri, a school who has had a few coaches with a few issues. Here is the deal, at my school we have institutional control, we don't cheat at recruiting, our players go to class, extra benefits aren't given. Haith has been at Tulsa and not even a look from the NCAA

I'll be a kettle when we have the NCAA come in and take away wins. Even staying at home till the new year for 20+ years wasn't enough of an advantage at mighty Syracuse so you cheated.

You're on this board and this thread to troll. Now run along. .

The best an AAC team could get in average attendance is around #30 nationally. Not great for a power basketball conference.

Not trying to talk ****, just sad observation.

Those massive NBA sized arenas are great, but outside of maybe 5 schools in the entire country who could fill them with any regularity, they are pointless. It doesn't create the same kind of home court advantage and doesn't have the same intensity for fans.

I know I'm biased, but I think UC's new arena is going to hit the sweet spot. 12k+ capacity, good amount of premium seating for the school to make money, and great amenities and wide seating for fans. UC should consistently average 10k-11k is my guess. We don't have a 38 game home winning streak for nothing.
