Attendance in Reno?

Anyone seen numbers on attendance at the first round of playoffs in Reno? Thursday will be the best look.
I should elaborate, I meant actual butts in the seats. According to the stats the attendance was over 1700 but it did not look even close to that number

No way there were 300 people at the EWU game last night. Not sure where the 1700 number came from, maybe all session passes, but not a chance there was 1/3 of that at the EWU game last night.

I'd almost guarantee all four games had less than 500 people yesterday, even though they were all reported at over 1000.
 
Not sure what was expected here. Sac State is the only school in driving distance. I have a hard time believing Reno put together a bid that sees this thing as revenue-neutral or better. I guess they can only hope the fans that do show up are heavy gamblers.
 
I suspected the actual attendance is far less than the box scores showed. I wish I were there this week and will definitely will be there next year unless I buy another house like this year.
I think over the years the attendance will grow.

Hopefully it will get better. The setup looks decent and its getting good reviews except for the attendance being really low, but that was going to be an issue all along. Reno really has no ties to the Big Sky so there wasn't going to be a lot of local support. The only real school thats close is Sac St and their attendance every year is really low. Its definitely a true neutral court, which is what most of the coaches and schools wanted, but its pretty embarrassing to watch on TV with no one there.
