A BYU/Gonzaga final could sell out a 20,000 seat arena, but who would want that
keep it small time since Gonzaga has figured out how to game the system. This part of the WCC is annoying.

Maybe a Saturday game. I don't think a Tuesday night game would.

Gonzaga wouldn't want it

Are you suggesting Gonzaga success is based on small audience or arenas?

Gonzaga controls the process for getting tournament tickets. Harder to do if

How does Gonzaga control the process.?

they buy season basketball tickets from schools like LMU, Pacific, etc.
BlueK

So, they are just smarter and more assertive to get tickets.

sure, they are more assertive about the process. But not a valid argument for

Well...there were 19,000 in Provo....so yeah

Would a BYU/Gonzaga NCAA final sell out 80,000? And would people be happy?

Not the point. The current venue is a joke
BlueK

While I agree with you....its not like BYU fans have been flocking to it lately
WJCougar
2/25/20 11:23am
not true. It's sold out. The only way to get tickets is from online scalping
BlueK
2/25/20 11:25am
Game the system to get tickets? That just sounds weird.
Eddie
2/25/20 11:33am
Yeah, your assumptions are incorrect
BlueK
2/25/20 11:46am
Well - I can see how the other teams wouldn't complain about Zags buying...
Eddie
2/25/20 11:55am
buying season tickets to totally different schools is gaming the system
BlueK
2/25/20 12:01pm
No. That's not the argument at all.

I don't want a fight. I just don't see valid arguments for not upgrading the

This is true too. Absent a Gonzaga/BYU final, a bigger arena would not sell out

The venue size depresses the demand.

I agree that Orleans is a joke. Bigger capacity would be awesome!

final four tickets are always hard to get

Was frustrating when they extended the contract with the Orleans Arena.
Mr. Scoobs
2/25/20 11:25am
The Orleans is at best the 4th best basketball arena in Vegas. Sad they re-upped the contract there.

It's a huge advantage to Gonzaga to keep it small. The rest of the schools don't
BlueK
2/25/20 11:33am
The whole thing is weird. Even less of an incentive to buy all-session passes with the triple bye.
TCuz

Plus, they're leaving alot of money on the table by not offering walk-up sales.

it's never going to be inexpensive in a tiny venue
BlueK

Yeah, it's dumb to not make the conference tournament more accessible.

It's never going to be inexpensive. That's not the demographic

They would not sell out a 20,000 seat arena. Maybe this year?? Maybe... but every other year we've been in the WCC, we

There are a lot more factors into the venue choice you’re leaving out that go
