Comparing apples and oranges IMO. Football is a single game where unless you're Bama a rather rare event for most fan bases. Baseball is a 12 team, 17 game event, the good teams rarely miss, IMO this makes ease n travel a far larger factor.
yes, the 200 fans at the Missouri/Vandy game would be really put off if the games were somewhere else.
First round morning games are always lightly attended.
1. It is first round morning
2. It is not double elimination, so team involved not guareenteed two games.
3. One of the teams is not very good.
you really expect Missouri fans to travel for a morning game to Hoover when their team is not very good and if they lose they go home? No way. That is why the attendance goes up dramatically after first round along with teams expecting to win. If they would change format, they would get more people to early round games.
