First time I've seen us do this officially since Quin took over. We now have an official attendance number of 10,515 which factors into our avg attendance numbers. And in the notes section and 'estimated actual attendance number of 7,532' which no longer is tracked and reported.

Kind of sucks to change the definition of the metric mid-stream, basically makes the data meaningless. But I guess going forward it won't be possible to derive anything from our attendance figures.

                    I like to see what the attendance was like in the past - tgr MU - 12/12 09:25:15
                         Moving to the new arena makes that tough to compare. - kmawv8 MU - 12/12 09:28:03
                              i agree but TV coverage has been pretty steady for the last - tgr MU - 12/12 09:31:20
                                   No way. You can watch every single game on TV or - kmawv8 MU - 12/12 09:45:47
                                        The huge majority were televised a decade ago. - tgr MU - 12/12 09:57:31

               Here's the big problem with it. - kmawv8 MU - 12/12 09:21:40
     You can make an argument for either IMO. - Mizzmi27 MU - 12/12 09:03:01
     Numbers don't matter. The real fans worthy of even being - Fred G. Sanford USA - 12/12 08:59:25
          If fans show up for the game, they indicate they are - MU-TULSA MU - 12/12 09:06:25

          COLLEGE basketball should be about getting COLLEGE students - tigerdb MU - 12/12 09:05:14
               How many luxury boxes can you sell to a college kid? - Fred G. Sanford USA - 12/12 09:07:15
                    Just like the empty seats, those luxury boxes are paid for - tigerdb MU - 12/12 09:14:22
                    You need both - TigerUppercut MU - 12/12 09:11:15
          You are talking about fans of Kim, I was referring to - FIJItiger MU - 12/12 09:00:29
               you think the crowd is made up of buddies from Kim's rotary? - bornoncampus MU - 12/12 09:05:12
                    I'm out on going to games this year. Even watching them - FIJItiger MU - 12/12 09:09:25
               Wrong, and wrong(nm) - Fred G. Sanford USA - 12/12 09:01:10
                    I like this schtick - saves me from doing it - but I will ad - 90Tiger MU - 12/12 09:05:54
     The AD doesn't need those figures to see what's happening. - bornoncampus MU - 12/12 08:48:23
          So? - Shrine Devine MU - 12/12 08:59:34
               Just pointing out that how we count tickets won't change the - bornoncampus MU - 12/12 09:03:31
                    Ah, I see. - Shrine Devine MU - 12/12 09:06:17
                         Changing the numbers mid-year is the worst thing. - tigerdb MU - 12/12 09:20:17
                         I'm rooting for Kim to put some clothes on. - bornoncampus MU - 12/12 09:08:48
                              lol...(nm) - Shrine Devine MU - 12/12 09:10:00
          The AD is used to watching Steve Fisher work. - Evenflow MU - 12/12 08:51:07
               Sterk may not be pulling the strings - MakeShift MU - 12/12 09:19:40
          But it mis-represents our data for things like this: - FIJItiger MU - 12/12 08:50:37
               I'll tell you why attendence matters. It fires up the team. - bornoncampus MU - 12/12 08:53:25
                    But the two are not mutually exclusive? - Shrine Devine MU - 12/12 09:01:02
                    Can't recall specifically why, but I don't believe we can - FIJItiger MU - 12/12 08:54:52
                    Not to mention visiting recruits.(nm) - GA Tiger MU - 12/12 08:54:34
                         absolutely. Fan support is part of what is holding us back, - bornoncampus MU - 12/12 08:57:38
                              Nevermind I get what you were saying.(nm) - Shrine Devine MU - 12/12 09:08:08
                              Again, not mutually exclusive. - Shrine Devine MU - 12/12 09:02:07
                              If Mizzou had diehard fans, this coach likely would have - tigerdb MU - 12/12 09:00:35
                                   That's flat out false. If we had die-hard fans he never - StaleyTiger MU - 12/12 09:04:54
                                        This was never a merit hire - my point was that regardless - tigerdb MU - 12/12 09:10:42
                                   Alden gave the clamoring older supporters what they wanted(nm) - Shrine Devine MU - 12/12 09:02:45
     Wow. That's actually pretty sad. I wonder whether - ANewHope4 MU - 12/12 08:47:18
     makes sense for them to do that(nm) - ajpe53 MU - 12/12 08:45:10
          I suppose, they have given up on about all other - FIJItiger MU - 12/12 08:47:23
               It was done that way for years...I don't know why they... - BandG MU - 12/12 09:06:10
                    Quin switched it when he took over, measuring actual - FIJItiger MU - 12/12 09:10:22
                         And Cameron only seats 9,300...bad move by Quinny. nm - BandG MU - 12/12 09:25:49
               It is a little insulting IMHO - Shrine Devine MU - 12/12 09:03:58
                    Pretty hard to stomach what has become of our program - FIJItiger MU - 12/12 09:05:30
               what difference to they make? it's clear why the numbers - ajpe53 MU - 12/12 08:49:46
                    I don't follow. Why would low numbers mean there is not - FIJItiger MU - 12/12 08:51:51
                         Maybe when we announce the attendance as 10,515 and there is - DirkPitts34 MU - 12/12 10:31:54
                              It doesn't look like they switched the women's attendance, - DirkPitts34 MU - 12/12 10:39:08
                                   Ouch, good point. That is really telling (and depressing) (nm) - FIJItiger MU - 12/12 11:02:02
