In response to HARVARDDADGRAD
Imagine if Penn didn't make it in and the cavernous Palestra had 1,200 fans? Holding the tournament in an outlying southern most venue would be exposed for what it was.
If it was in the Palestra and Penn wasn't in it, the attendance would be down but it would be a lot more than 1,200. Too many basketball fans around Philly and NY want to see quality games in an historic venue. Also, the many alums in NYC can easily and inexpensively get to the Palestra. It would be over 3,000 easy, which is half capacity. No one wants to watch basketball in a glorified HS gym in Cambridge.
