  • What Others Have Said About Qwest Center Omaha ATTENDANCE “It's Noon Sunday in Omaha, Neb., and You've Got to See This Place
    QWEST CENTER OMAHA What Others Have Said About Qwest Center Omaha ATTENDANCE “It's noon Sunday in Omaha, Neb., and you've got to see this place. Creighton's home arena, the Qwest Center Omaha, is as impressive a facility as you'll find in college bas- ketball. It doesn't have the charm of the Phog, but this place is immaculate, and enormous. The gym holds 15,500 (now 17,272), and it's only a small part of the building. It's almost a sellout, too. Nearly 15,000 people watch Creighton beat Drake, a sentence that deserves to be read again. These peo- ple love Creighton basketball. The Bluejays play hard and smart, and they play in basketball's most underrated league, the Missouri Valley Conference.” - Gregg Doyel, cbs.sport- sline.com (Jan. 10, 2006) “Creighton finished 20th among all Division I schools with an average of 13,900 fans per game - a jump of more than 2,692 from the previous season. That's better than reigning national champion Florida (10,851) and a host of other major programs, including Texas (13,024), Oklahoma (11 , 8 0 5 ) , Oklahoma State (11,591), Michigan (10,690), Pittsburgh (10,624) and Villanova (9,949).” - Andrew Skwara, rivals.com (Aug. 11, 2006) THE ARENA “Creighton is the league’s crown jewel. It boasts an NBA- caliber arena, the Qwest Center Omaha, where the Bluejays average 14,387 fans.” - Stewart Mandel, Sports Illustrated (Feb. 20, 2006) THE ATMOSPHERE “The crowd did a great job. And there’s no doubt in my mind that the energy they provided gave us a chance to win the game.” - Dana Altman, quoted by Steve Pivovar, Omaha World-Herald (Nov.
