But if I had to guess, probably about 200-250 fans here this morning.

Hence the failure to report. What a fizzle.

Game was great, though. Lots of drama. Congrats to Michigan. Five B1G teams regional bound and at least four of them are pretty good teams.
 
Wow, didn't even dawn on me when I type up the OP, if my estimate is correct, the tournament didn't even top 7,000 total fans. That's depressing. Not shocking, but still depressing.
 
Oh wow, that number is obviously just tickets sold. Unless there were 400+ people in the press box.
 
Decided to look up last year...

Day 1: 10,424
Day 2: 11,756
Day 3: 7,580
Day 4: 12,316
Championship: 19,965

The one day Nebraska did not play last year (Day 3) had greater attendance (7,580) than all of this year's tournament (7,384).

They did exceed the attendance from 2013 when it was last held in Minneapolis (about 6,000 total), but it was only a 6-team field that year instead of 8.
 
Last year's numbers must have been ticket sales including all session passes. A couple of the early crowds I saw never came close to announced numbers. Not that it matters, ticket sales do count and, even with the no shows, daily attendance was much higher than any at Minneapolis.
