Just imagine how bad the attendance would have been had Weber State and Montana both not made it to the championship game!

Big Sky's version of a home run? Wow

"We are finally achieving our goals within the Big Sky conference. If we can think of other ideas to reduce audiences at BSC tournaments, we are looking for them."

The decision to go to a neutral site wasn't the Big Sky staff's -- it was the Big Sky coaches, ADs and presidents. The Big Sky staff worked their butts off to make the tournament go as smoothly as possible. All the feedback I'm hearing from coaches, players and administrators is that the tournament was largely well-run and professional. That's a win.
As to the fans, well if you're disappointed in the attendance, there is a solution: go to the tournament next year.

If it were that easy. I expected good attendance when Montana played SAC but that did not happen either. Face it, the Big Sky is not the ACC, people do not travel in this conference nor do most schools have the fan base to make a neutral location work.
