Attendance Figures 1996-97 1997-98


Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone can find the attendance figures for the 1996-97 team and the 1997-98 team. Not only will Tatum transform this team if he makes a smart decision and goes to SLU, but he will have this city buzzing again for college basketball. I remember the Dome being electric and filled with 30k fans when the Bills took down Illinois. BTW - that 1996-97 was 11-18 overall and the following year with the legend we reached 22 wins. Impressive.

Thanks. I was trying to find them and couldn't. Quite a big jump. I'm hoping we could pack Chaifetz if JT were to come to SLU. Amazing looking at these figures and seeing our average attendance. A lot of factors play into that, but being in the Great Midwest Conference and Conference USA certainly didn't hurt our attendance.

It's not surprising that SLU's 6 highest attendance seasons are the first 6 seasons at the Center currently know at Scottrade. 22k capacity arena. NCAA tournament an average of every other year. Baby boomers in their 30s-50s loading up on season tix for their entire family. Conference schedule featuring natural geographic rivals and national powers...not to mention OOC home games against UMass, Illinois, KU, Mizzou.

When you say "Kiel", it implies Kiel Auditorium.

If you're going to be anal about the names changes and corporate sponsorships, at least get them right.

Just wondering, are some of these attendance figures skewed by the large attendances we had when we played Illinois and Mizzou in the Dome?

Yes all games are included. We had DH's in 1995 and 1998 also. Those figures are included as straight up SLU numbers.
