DAYTON — The University of Dayton has announced that all available tickets for the 2023-24 men’s basketball season have been sold, selling out the entire season before the Flyers take to the court for the third consecutive year.
That includes UD’s exhibition games with Ohio State on Sunday, Oct. 22, and Cedarville on Saturday, Oct. 28.
“Our community’s support of our players and coaches has been and continues to be truly amazing,” UD Vice-President and Director of Athletics Neil Sullivan said. “Our fans and the entire community have proven to be a distinctive, fundamental and enduring part of our program. We are thankful for their extraordinary support and partnership. This is a relationship, not a transaction, and we will never take that for granted.”
This will extend a regular-season sellout streak to 60 games dating back to 2019-2020. This marks the fourth straight season (the NCAA did not track attendance during the Covid season) that the University of Dayton has had double-digit sellouts. UD had 14 sellouts in 2019-2020, 17 in 2021-22 and 16 in 2022-23. The Flyers announced sellouts before a game was played in each of the last three years.
Dayton men’s basketball ranked 18th nationally in average attendance in 2022-23. The Flyers’ average 13,407 fans a game in the last three seasons is a school record in average attendance.
Since the Arena opened in 1969, Dayton has been in the NCAA`s Top 35 in men’s basketball attendance all 52 seasons, and in the Top 25 a total of 34 times. UD was the 11th school to have 10 million fans attend a men’s basketball game in its current building. The others were Butler, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Mexico, Purdue, Syracuse and Vanderbilt.
