Cowboy Basketball brings the rowdy back:
Gallagher-Iba Area was the site of the nation’s third-largest attendance jump last season.

West Virginia, OU, Arkansas and Kansas were all sellouts this season. After a drop in attendance the last few years, it looks like Cowboy Basketball’s efforts to get people to games is paying off. Keep going to games and making GIA noisy Cowboy fans.
