HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN with a smaller school IN A small CITY WITH A BIG ARENA?

I answered my own question, small city.
Compared to NYC it's small, but the Dayton Metropolitan Area has over 800,000 people in it.

Plus, it's only 50 miles from Cincy, and 60 miles from Columbus. They probably get some of that crowd too (non-Xavier, Cincy, and OSU fans, anyway).

800,000 people in greater Dayton, never would have guessed that. Like Syracuse, area residents all are fans even though they didn't go to the School. No competing pro teams, no Broadway, etc., etc.
 
Whadda you mean ? No Pro Sports ?
The Dayton Day Dreamers are a big draw in Major League Roller Derby .
The minor league team in Dayton also draws really well. They often have the highest average attendance in all of minor league baseball and the stadium is right on the river.

Once something becomes a part of the culture, the inertia is tough to stop. It definitely helps having less options.
