Question?

What has happened to okie states attendance? I have noticed a lot of empty seats even this year with their success. Didnt that place used to be packed to the gills? Ford not a big hit with fans?

Doc needs a new hair do

Makes you wonder if they would undo that renovation that added that third level of seats, would they do it?

[nuled2dance]

It is way to big just empty seats

OKC is only an hour away from Stillwater and the Thunder had a home game tonight, so yes.

 

I'm sure if Omaha got an NBA team, our attendance (and Creighton's) would take a nose dive as well.  Especially on nights when the college team and NBA team are both playing @ home

I don't know about tonight, but in general attendance has gone down, way down at both OU and OSU since the Thunder have come to town, especially since they've gotten good. They're spending their entertainment dollars there instead of traveling to the college towns. (I'm very proud of that last sentence, btw...)

I don't recall Husker attendence suffering when Omaha had the KC-Omaha King franchise.  Then again, that has been a long time ago and I was just a tike.  Perhaps the Boone Pickens luster does not carry over to the basketball program?

Weren't we playing in the coliseum when the Kings were in Omaha?  I don't think the Coliseum is big enough to really be affected by something like that.
