July 19, 200719 yr You really think so? A new arena might be a boost, but if BCG wins like we all think he will, he is going to put even more fannies in the seats than there already are... I don't really see how BCG can increase attendenance. It's pretty much sold old most games as it is. Short of a new larger areana there isn't a whole lot of room left for improvement.
July 19, 200719 yr Author Is UL's new areana going to hold more than Rupp? If so you may end up being correct, but if not I have a hard time believing it would pass UK... I am not sure whether it will or not. Maybe so. Anyway, I thought that this was "paid" attendance, not the fans that U.L. paid to watch them play:D (j/k - LOL, I couldn't resist, this state is basketball crazy!!)
July 19, 200719 yr From what I hear, U of L's arena is to hold more... If that is the case you can bet it will not be long before UK has one larger.
July 19, 200719 yr I would venture to guess that the 'Ville will be topping this list by decade's end. Not unless UK moves back into Memorial Coliseum...
July 19, 200719 yr From what I hear, U of L's arena is to hold more... Looks like the official number at this point is 22,198. If you want to get a very detailed look at what the new arena is proposed to look like, click this link. Congrats, UL fans, it looks to be a huge step up from Freedom Hall and a 1st class facility. May take awhile to load.

Well Rupp holds 24,000 and has for the Florida game in 2003 as well as this past year
July 20, 200719 yr Besides Syracuse, how many arenas hold as many or more than Rupp??? Thompson-Boling holds 26,000
July 20, 200719 yr Thompson-Boling holds 26,000 Action is that the figure after the renovations are finished? The site for Thompson-Boling lists seating at 24,535. Just curious because I heard some UT fans say that they were going to lose seating during the renovations.
July 20, 200719 yr Thompson-Boling holds 26,000 Yeah, but not when they're running a curtain around the upper level so it doesn't look so empty. Looks like Pearl may be starting to actually use the capacity though.

If that is the case, then my figure in incorrect.
July 20, 200719 yr Rupp's Official capacity is 23K per UK's website.... Louisville's new arena is slated to be right at 23k or a little under...I would say they will be competing for top spot for sure.

UK and UL definitely most likely will be 1 and 2 in attendance every year once UL's areana is finished...
