Each Division I institution or conference interested in competing in the 2009-10 Women’s Basketball “Pack the House,” Challenge must submit an intent-to-participate form by November 2 to be eligible to compete in the contest.

This will be the third year that institutions and conferences can compete to draw the most fans to a single-designated game. Institutions will compete against schools in its own conference and against all other Division I participants that take part in the challenge.

Last year, 184 schools participated in the competition, drawing more than 559,000 fans to Division I women’s basketball games.

Seventy-two schools broke single-home game attendance marks from the previous season. Auburn, Bradley, Central Michigan, Gonzaga, Marist, Memphis, Niagara, Notre Dame and Providence all recorded sellouts for their “Pack the House” games last year, while Marist is the only school to sell out its Pack the House game date for two consecutive years.
