I was wondering since it was the most attended basketball at the time, how many of you went to the game?

I did. @gojvc had moved up there for a few years and we took 6 of us up to go to the game. The seating arrangement was terrible. Our seats were in the endzone and the court was placed a midfield. I was basically at the same level of the court but 40 yards away. I couldn't tell if someone was under the basket or at mid court. I watched it on the monitors.

I was there. Only UK Basketball game I've ever been to that wasn't in Rupp Arena. We sat right in the middle of a bunch of Michigan State fans. Had a blast!

As Glenn said, I was there. One of the finer memories of my time in Michigan.

I attended. Bob Seger's saxophonist played the anthem and John L. Smith took the mic at halftime and popped off about UK fans after getting booed.

I was there. Loved it. Only an hour south of me. Wish they played in Michigan more often.

Before that, I believe it was the loss to UMass at the palace in 95. Was there as well.

I was there with my dad. Horrible seats as mentioned before. Like 10 rows back but 60 yards front the court. Could not really make out what was happening most of the game but hey at least we won

I would bet that if challenged,I could find my game program for it. Back when I used to do stupid stuff like buy game programs for every game.

I still have mine
Also bought sweatshirts, a blue polo, the pins
My pin is on the lampshade in my bedroom. I actually just posted a thread in the football forum about pins. For a couple years in the early 90's you got all time player pins when you bought a program at the football games.

There is nothing wrong with the stadium. The seats were horrible because of the configuration they used to try to break the record.
