I found the total attendance for the tournament in St. Louis (103,733), but I cannot find where that ranks compared to past tournaments. Does anyone know?

It's also exactly 103,733 more than the amount of Miss State national titles in major sports.

Crazy pants.

Generally it's around 105k-106k when held in Nashville.

So St. Louis was a failure. We should never go back there.

New Orleans must have been played in the dome as well.

Most of it really depends on how far the Cats go in the tourney.

Problem is they used "sold" tickets' not "gate" so they can be sold out but half empty come game time.

I am guessing the big numbers are when it gets played in a dome like GA as UK fans have been know for filling venues they play in.

Without Kentucky fans, the attendance would be very low.

Ga dome would approach 200k. I think Nashville and b'ham did quite well as well.

Having the tournament in the same location every year is boring.

I understand Atlanta for football but let's move this BB tourney around a little.

Same for the baseball tourney. There are some iconic baseball stadiums in the SEC footprint.

I know. It's actually last place in total attendance for the SECT, ever. I can't provide a link, but you just asked if I anybody knows and I know, so...

I would honestly love to have a conversation in real life. The fact that you're still legitimately angry 4 years after I called out your wrestling program for being MAC pretenders when you were trying to get fake internet points for yourself and unearned respect for Mizzou wrestling from unsuspecting SEC fans who don't know any better.

I want to understand the psychology behind that. You interest me (but sorry to disappoint you that I dont mean in the way Michael Sam and Jontay Porter are into tiny white boys).
