Bit better Mizzou Arena shot IMHO, this may be quite a bit like what Ole Miss' arena will look like when it opens, the deliberate "retro style" fieldhouse look is still kinda in right now it seems...
As an aside, I am predicting that this coming weekend Kentucky will have the largest visiting crowd ever in Mizzou Arena. The only other school we played regularly wih a fanbase that passionate & who travels that well was kansas, and due to the rivalry Mizzou fans always lapped up tickets in such larger numbers that you couldn't really detect any ku presence (the above pic is a Mizzou-kansas game, notice there's no blue). But with Kentucky not being a rival, and with the Mizzou fanbase being more down on this team and Coach Haith than they've ever been, and it being a new road trip for UK's diehard fanbase to go on, my bet is there will be pretty massive swaths of blue in Mizzou Arena unlike anything we've ever seen before up there.

KU came to TBA in 2010 when they were #1 (we beat that arse with only 6 scholarship players 
) and they traveled very, very well for being so far away. Had probably 600 or 700 here. Hard to compare them to UK though since UK fans are so close.

Could be, except sub zero temps may cancel some trips. When UK went to Reed they had a substantial traveling base that caught several local fans off guard.
Looking at Stub Hub looks like around 300 tickets still out there and via Seat Geek it looks like lots of other scalpers have tickets as well. Not sure what the "day of game" scalpers inventories look like but it will be interesting to see. UK generally only has the seats at any given venue because the local person sold them in the first place. It si why you never see big opponent crowds in Rupp because the locals will not give up their seats for sale to outsiders.
