I'm getting word it will be at the AL.

a real game at the Al would be fun.

Being at the Al, will cause fans to buy more tickets.

Agreed! Would be fun to go watch a game there. Atmosphere would be fantastic.

Would be fun at The Al, but could it really happen? Season ticket base is larger than what the arena holds. I understand that 4,000 seats will likely be enough for an NIT game, but who gets the tickets? Do they go on sale to season ticket holders in descending order based on point total until they are sold out? I'd be pissed if they sold out before I was able to buy.

OK...we will see how it ends up. BTW, is MU going to be able to host with the BC hosting the NCAAs? Is the Arena available? Would they play at the AL?

The real issue is that MU's AD staff is tied up with NCAA preparation. don't think they could feasibly host an NIT game during the first week...?

MU did it in 2004 at the BC, then hosted NCAA tourney Fri/Sun. They are not going to pass on a home game, if they can get one.

In years past it's first come, first serve. Like you said 4,000 will be enough.

But, its one less day this year as the games are Thursday/Saturday. I could see a Monday game. Tuesday might be stretching things. Bucks are on the road that week, so the calendar is clear. But, lets see how the BET goes first...

I don't think there are games on Monday night. That would be a really tight turnaround for the visiting team.

It will not be at the Bradley Center. They have to put in the NCAA floor. It will be at the Al.
