I agree that KU can handle 42 teams...barely. I would certainly not push it past 42. The venue IS small, and once you start dropping below 8-feet-wide pits (which is what I believe that we had at KK11), it gets frustrating. For example, by a stroke of bad luck, we had 6 and a half feet of pit space in Traverse City. I'll just say that it was not fun. Very cramped, and unsafe.

If anywhere else is smaller than KU, I'd wonder why it was chosen to host an event. The other venues that I've been to (Troy, Detroit, and TC) could certainly hold a few more teams without much of an issue, and I understand that the venue for Western MI is large as well.
