Fan Attendance in the MWC Tourny

About how many fans from each team will be there at the MWC Tourny?

Last year they estimated that about 7-12K UNM fans attended. The semifinal game vs. SDSU was really packed with Lobo fans. Someone might have more accurate number but this what I remember hearing on the news.

10,000 Lobo fans for a semi-final game is a pretty safe estimate. A final appearance might take it to 12,000. Only UNLV will have more fans at their games.

Excluding UNLV, UNM always has the highest turnout. Last year was amazing - definitely was a home away from home.

BYU would probably be #2 behind UNM as far as attendance. Utah usually does well, also, but this being a down year for them, maybe not this year. SDSU does OK (short trip for them), and Wyoming draws surprisingly well. The others, not much.

BYU will be up this year, UNM will be down. Bandwagon fans are bandwagon fans.

So it looks like this:
1). UNLV
2). UNM
3). BYU
4). SDSU
5). Utah

Looks about right. I could see BYU maybe outdrawing us this year due to their success, but we'll still do well, I'm sure.

It will be fun to be there if we play BYU. We'll have about equal amount of fans, and I have a feeling most fans of the other teams will be rooting for us against BYU.
