Without Creighton around, I wager they move it to Chicago before Kansas City. -
Probably, but at least we have a decent amount of leverage.Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille!Comment

I think we ironically lose out because we travel so well. They know WSU fans will go damn near anywhere. If you go to KC, there are at least five schools that wouldn't have 250 fans in attendance. But logistically KC makes far more sense because there are no pro teams.Originally posted by Kung Wu View PostComment

St. Louis is in the backyard for several of the MVC schools and their fans are the ones that don't come. The MVC, without Creighton's fans, will only have WSU as the cornerblock for attendance. You can't blame the Center for wanting to try to get something else in (the SEC Tournament) that will bring more money into the coffers.Comment

St. Louis is a 6 1/2 hr. drive, one way -- Chicago is 10 1/2 hrs. That would be an additional 8 hours on the road going to and from. Not liking that much.Comment

If they move it to Chicago, WSU fans should boycott the tournament.Originally posted by tw805 View Post
We want influence, that's the way to get it.
Also, I'm assuming your comment about pro teams was regarding basketball, but it made me laugh at the Royals and Chiefs anyway.Last edited by Rlh04d; June 1, 2013, 12:14 AM.Originally posted by BleacherReportComment

Boycotting would only hurt the team. I suppose we should just wait to see what happens and then react.Comment

It would hurt the team, but it wouldn't ONLY hurt the team. It would hurt the conference far more than it would hurt the team. We do just fine on the road, and a Valley tournament without Creighton or WSU fans would be a joke financially.Originally posted by Shox21 View Post
As long as we're in a position to get an at-large bid and don't need a conference championship to make the tournament ...Originally posted by BleacherReportComment

The only reason that I will continue going back to St. Louis for the Valley Tournament is because I have made too many trips where I have left the Gateway City upset. Someday, Wichita State will cut down nets at Arch Madness, and you can be damn sure that I will be there when it happens. Once I can finally experience that feeling, I'm done with that trip and will just save money for NCAA Tournament trip travel. Maybe next year will be a better experience without the onslaught of the jackhole Creighton fanbase infestation, but I am getting to the "been-there, done-that" stage with travels to St. Louis. Great city and all, but you can only see the Arch, Busch factory, etc. so many times before you start to get bored with it.78-65Comment

I wonder if the fact that MVC basketball media day will be back and in CHICAGO this year, instead of St Louis, is a little foreshadowing.......

It is. The Valley has wanted this for years and Creighton leaving finally gives them the opportunity to move their home to Chicago. We need to find a new conference. Drag Bradley with us and whatever conference it is will be just as good as the MVC.Originally posted by shockerfan View PostComment

What will be funny is that the MVC will give WSU all the bad WSU and CU seats, and the rest of the MVC will get the prime seats.Originally posted by GoShockers89 View PostComment

Without CU anymore, we might as well have this thing at a high school somewhere. I figure 1,000-2,000WSU fans regardless of where it is and a grand total of 500 other mvc school fans.
Should about do it.

Now if you move it to the sprint center, all the sudden you have 10k again. Should be obvious but it won't be.Comment
