Iam curious what the UD fan base could support in terms of home attendance. Dayton metro is about 800,000 fans. That doesn't take into account alumni in Columbus, Cincy Indy etc who all could easily drive on game day.
The Bradley Center has a max attendance of 18850. Milwaukee has over 2.3M people in their metro area.
Century Link has a max attendance of 18320. Omaha is a great college sports town. It's very similar to Dayton. It also has 1.3M people. M I would use those two towns as the most similar to Dayton.
Dayton and Marquette have over 8000 students and Creighton only has 4500.
I think the mere size of Omaha and Milwaukee allow them to draw more fans. If I had to guess we'd max out at 15000 fans but that's just a guess.
