Great advertising for Katy...the tourney is still poorly attended though. 1200 hotel nights (300 rooms per night) is pretty weak for a four day event in a facility that seats thousands.  ???

It is the SOUTHLAND conference people...Thats about as good as its gonna get for them. They should take it INTO the city, and take it back to the Campbell Center which is easier to get to. Katy has NEVER been a basketball area, and the people there could care less that the SOUTHLAND conference tournament is there...Heck, they probably dont even KNOW its there! The Southland tournament would lose head to head to a area high school playoff game, so they have to get more creative and become smarter about the venues, and timing and such.

Most of the smaller conferences have the same problem with poor attendance.  CUSA has been holding their conference tourney in Memphis because they know the Tigers will win and draw in the crowds.  Since most of the SLC schools average less than 2000 per game, there's no way a neutral site will draw anybody.
