MU switches to counting tickets sold rather than attendance - FIJItiger MU

- 12/12 08:43:28

isn't that what matters ... - tmcats KSU - 12/12 10:17:08

Not close to true. We announced 13300 at the Hearnes - tman KC - 12/12 09:29:54

it isn't quite that simple...when we hit capacity - SuperTone MU

- 12/12 10:05:29

Hence I specified the timeframe. We switched when - FIJItiger MU

- 12/12 09:33:02

I missed you Quin time reference read right over it - tman KC - 12/12 09:49:15

We switched b/c the Post Dispatch complained & Alden - Cole Thornton MU - 12/12 09:47:15

Which is what it should be(nm) - Uncle John MU

- 12/12 09:36:24

What are you looking to gather from attendance data? - kmawv8 MU - 12/12 09:17:20

I agree with Fiji though. It will make comparing past - tgr MU

- 12/12 09:20:16

meh(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 12/12 09:26:54

who cares? - kmawv8 MU - 12/12 09:23:05

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

The CDC said the same thing about syphilis outbreaks and - lqf2b8 MU

- 12/12 09:24:47

I used to go by volume displaced until those chubby - lqf2b8 MU

- 12/12 09:21:37

yep(nm) - Mizzmi27 MU - 12/12 09:18:32

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

Saturday was fun - MrBlueSky MU - 12/12 09:06:15

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

yep(nm)
