Just a hair under 14,700 average attendance. Not too shabby, lets top 15,000 next season!

What is considered "the West?" Any school west of the Mississippi River? Or any school in the West Coast Conference?

West of the Mississippi-ish.

West of Denver?

Looks like its some point west of Nebraska. I don't have a problem with that - it's hard to call Nebraska the west.

KU and Nebraska are both on the Eastern edges of their states, so West of Lincoln, NE probably will cover it.

That's like half of the country.

By area, yes (especially when you include Alaska). By population? Not even close.

Still pretty good, beat all of texas and California which are pretty huge states by size and population. Looks like we're better than everyone in the Big12 except KU and we should surpass them once we have all the Big12 teams coming to the Marriott Center to play (KU is at capacity every game and we have seats to fill still). :evil:

I live in St. Louis, what I like to call right smack dab in the middle of the country. Nobody here or in Kansans or Nebraska considers themselves part of the East by any means. We're definitely mid-west, which is part of the west IMO. Still, very good attendance numbers by BYU that we should be proud of.

For the complete WCC, BYU had over 40% of the attendance.
