They wanted this single-elimination money-grab method.
They earned KSU/Loyola.

Atlanta is a big time college sports city with an arena in the heart of the downtown area, I suspect the locals will gobble up the cheap tickets and make the stands look good on tv.
I don't think either KSU or Loyola really care how packed or not packed Phillips Arena will be in the regional final. KSU and Loyola are moving on for a chance to play in the Final Four next weekend.
K-State might have the advantage here. It will be like their usual Wednesday night game at the Big 12 tournament.
Especially if you are the type who will pony up to fly around to see your team, there is a good chance a much better travel opportunity is about to arise for them to the Final Four. Much better to wait it out and book the Final Four trip Sunday morning, assuming all KSU fans arent rivals millionaires that can fly their private jets around at the drop of a hat.
it will look like the AT&T stadium did after Michigan beat KU in 2014. Pockets of fans here and there, but for the most part empty. I was at the game and it was at least 75% ku fans. After we lost, couldn't give my tickets away. Actually ended giving them to a friend of mine to give to someone in their church.
I expect UK fans to be there to root for Loyola. Hotels are paid for, tickets are paid for. etc.
A few of them own crop dusters, but those aren’t so great at people-moving.
I’m sure the eastbound Greyhounds are full of grape, though.
MSG tickets were over $100 for nosebleeds, so, no. I would have saved a lot of money if that were true.
I have a friend who dropped $1,000 on tickets. He now swears he will never do it again.
I imagine Philips arena was very empty considering that the game was played at Georgia tech.

I think that's where the confusion is. On the camera side of the court, it said,"Welcome to Philips Arena. Hosted by GT.

Yep. Usually a said school is allocated as the host, even if not being played on their actual campus.
