RowdyTalk has a thread dedicated to Attendance. I was curious about the conference games only so I took a quick look at the numbers without pesky non-confenference games skewing the numbers somewhat.
First, here are their numbers for the top 8:
RT Att Tracker
| Team | Attendance | Conf Rank |
|---|---|---|
| East Carolina | 43,985 | 1 |
| UTSA | 29,747 | 2 |
| UTEP | 28,375 | 3 |
| Marshall | 25,004 | 4 |
| Southern Miss | 22,906 | 5 |
| La Tech | 21,715 | 6 |
| Rice | 21,449 | 7 |
| North Texas | 21,369 | 8 |
Here are the top 8 just in conference play along with capacity and percentage filled:
Conference Play
| Att | School | Capacity | % |
|---|---|---|---|
| 42,304 | ECU | 50000 | 84.61% |
| 26,742 | UTEP | 51500 | 51.93% |
| 25,090 | UTSA | 65000 | 38.60% |
| 23,852 | Marshall | 38019 | 62.74% |
| 22,280 | UNT | 30850 | 72.22% |
| 21,965 | SMISS | 36000 | 61.01% |
| 19,324 | LATECh | 30600 | 63.15% |
| 16,447 | Rice | 47000 | 34.99% |
What is noticeable is that we do the second best job among these schools at filling out the stadium relative to the capacity, and that we were the only school to make a jump in attendance in conference play. That just means that Ball State can’t draw anyone (14K+ in that game).
