Many people travel two or more hours to see games, so lack of attendance usually boils down to demographics. Worse the team is, the less people want to travel. Bearing in mind two biggest fan bases KC and STL are 120 miles away give or take. Furthermore, the University caters upscale ticket blocks to companies in those locations due to making the biggest profit. When Mizzou is horrible the tickets are sold but unused. Feel like Mizzou doesn’t want a local fan base, which is shortsighted.
