I figured it would be a dogfight. SG has descent talent and is comparable to SV. On paper it was an upset but on the court not so much. Congrats Rebels. I think this is SG's 3rd trip to the Convo in the past 4 years. Always exciting for the kids to get to play in a 13,000 seat arena.lightle04 wrote:Wow never seen that coming ! Congrats !
Well if 13,000 is to big for D4 then it is to big for D 2 and D3 as well because many times it's the D4 schools that bring the bigger crowds. I worked in the OU athletics department for several years and actually worked the tournaments . The small schools always brought the largest crowds with the exception of Cambridge who travelled a ton. The school that would shockingly have some of the smallest crowds was Athens. The D2 schools from Columbus brought very few fans as well.athens78 wrote:DIV games should be

I'd have to disagree with both of you. Pretty sure you'll see more than 300 fans at the DIV games at the Convo. But I guarantee they won't be anywhere near the crowds you'll see at the DII and DIII gamesRebelCat wrote:Well if 13,000 is to big for D4 then it is to big for D 2 and D3 as well because many times it's the D4 schools that bring the bigger crowds.

Who cares if the arena is too big. It's a thrill and perhaps the only time the vast majority of these kids will play in a venue like The Convo. It's a goal they shoot for every year.
I guess you never worked the games when McClain, Eastern Brown, Logan Elm or North Adams were playing.RebelCat wrote:Well if 13,000 is to big for D4 then it is to big for D 2 and D3 as well because many times it's the D4 schools that bring the bigger crowds.

Depends on the teams. One year North Adams brought a crowd that was only topped by Cambridge. I remember we checked the presale and North Adams pre sold 1200 tickets. I looked up the population of Winchestor in Adams county and it was barely over a 1,000. I think every person who ever attended that school showed up. It was that impressive. I am betting Peebles will bring a huge crowd this year as well.Raiderball wrote:I'd have to disagree with both of you. Pretty sure you'll see more than 300 fans at the DIV games at the Convo.
