Population and GO GRIZ!!!

So I read in the Missoulian today that the Griz semi-final game is sold out. I only hope they have room at the laundry mat so I can still watch all the action on ESPN2. The article states that all 23,400 seats were sold.

To put this number in prospective, I pulled up the population figures of Missoula and Missoula county. Missoula has about 63,000 people while Missoula County now tops 100,000. This is a HUGE population swell that provides an intense presence at the games.

But I’m surprised that I haven’t heard anything else about Missoula County finally popping over 100,000. This is an important milestone in any urban area (al beit smaller than the city hitting 100,000).
