I am not sure this is correct. Probably before your tme but you’re forgetting the sold out/standing room only crowds at the old auditorium back in the 70’s early 80’s.FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Sat Feb 04, 2023 8:06 pm6,199

I am pretty sure the Brown Box only held 5,000 for basketball. Maybe we can get Dan to verify the record attendance with Jordan Caskey. You would think that we would make a huge deal of the attendance if it was indeed an all time record. I looked through the basketball press guide, but did not see any info for the largest attendance records. https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/side ... ok2023.pdfapaladin wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 3:44 amI am not sure this is correct.

Don’t remember exactly but capscity for GMA was north of 6,000, not 5,000. I remember an Alabama concert had over 7,000. Wikipedia lists it as 7,500 multi-purpose arena. IIRC capacity for basketball was about 6,200-6,300.Roundball wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 5:18 amI am pretty sure the Brown Box only held 5,000 for basketball.

Wikipedia is wrong about 7,500. For concerts, the floor was open for seating, thus a capacity of over 6,000. For basketball, it was no more than 5,500.apaladin wrote: ↑Sun Feb 05, 2023 11:05 amDon’t remember exactly but capscity for GMA was north of 6,000, not 5,000.
