All-time Attendance Mark WILL be Passed

Also, the article mentions there's only 2500 tickets left as of 2 pm Tuesday. The NIT record attendance mark for Bradley will likely be passed as well.

abe-- I just posted the same thing and you beat me by a few secs, so I'll transfer my thoughts to your post..

Tomorrow night Bradley will set an all time home attendance record.
The present record is 160,263 fans in 1987-1988, and presently BU has drawn 157,072 to date.
That means we are just 3,191 short of the all time record.

Bradley's per game average this season of 9,817 will be the 3rd highest average in history.
(ps-- even a sellout will not push the per game average above 10,000)

So far, nearly 9,000 tickets are already sold, and there is anticipation of selling many more when the unclaimed season tickets go on sale Wednesday morning.

"After the ESPN family of networks opted not to televise Wednesday night???‚¬?„?s game between Bradley and Providence, WEEK has purchased the broadcast rights and will televise the game in the Central Illinois market."
