You want me to do updates?........Then it better stay here, love that it's less than 10 minutes from the house.

Amen brother!!

I don't doubt that, but if you look at the population within two hours of each I bet NKU has a huge advantage, probably two times the population within 2 hours vs WKU

 

Population may be true, attending a whole 'nother thing....First session yesterday, probably less than was at Fieldhouse for Boys Regional Final Tuesday. I would guess 1,000 or less and that included the bussed in students.

The Civic Center in Frankfort would be perfect size for the girls tourney.

Move it back to WKU.

How long is it at NKU?

If you want more central then I'd vote for Frankfort -all a tournament is there and I think it works out well-being there several times

I would say EKU, Frankfort, or how about Johnson Arena at Morehead State? I would say Memorial too, but too many people have a love/hate relationship with UK "hosting" things imo.

 

If you throw Morehead into the mix, it would get that area in the mix of hosting a state level championship and is just an hour from Lexington. If you havent been to Morehead in a while it has really changed since I went to college there in the mid-90's.

 

Pasquales on Main Street is still the place to go for their Stromboli too. :up:

As to the convenience of the location issue, my guess is that there are a lot more Kentucky residents within 2 hours of NKU than there are within two hours of WKU.

 

According to this site, the state center of population is in Willisburg, Washington County. Per Google Maps, Willisburg is 1:52 minutes from Western Kentucky University, 1:58 minutes from Northern Kentucky University.

 

State Centers of Population >> Twelve Mile Circle >> maps, geography, travel

Frankfort Convention Center - 5000+ seating capacity

Johnson Arena @ Morehead- 6500 seating capacity

Diddle Arena @ WKU - 7326 seating capacity

BB&T @ NKU - 10,000 seating capacity

Memorial @ UK - 10,000 seating capacity

This is on track with what I was about to ask. Does anyone know how attendance compares between these years at NKU and before at WKU?

How long is it at NKU?

 

I believe it was a 2 year contract.

Agreed, NKU allows for more teams to have a nice fan base for support and the facility is very nice. Not a bad seat there. It's a Win/Win for the participating teams and the Sweet 16.

I'm sure as far as the KHSAA is concerned, it will go to the highest bidder. I haven't heard of WKU and BG want back in or if NKU wants to hold on. I haven't heard if any others want to enter the mix either. It will be interesting to see who really wants it.
