Time again to take a look at NCAA Football attendance for the last week. Average attendance was down to 25,855 this week, but the bottom got higher across the board! Let’s take a look, shall we?
Worst overall Division 1 attendance week 4: 1,701- San Diego vs Butler. Despite the fact that the Toreros won by a score of 38-17, only 1,701 fans showed up to one of San Diego’s only two football options after the Chargers left town to play in front of an empty 25,000 seat stadium. Perhaps it was the good weather, the lack of draw in the Butler Bulldogs, or the fact that the Toreros were coming off a loss to Princeton, we’ll never know.
Worst overall FBS attendance week 4: 11,029 – Charlotte vs Georgia State. UNC-Charlotte is pretty new to FBS, and currently sitting at the absolute bottom of the first AMSTS Computer Rankings of the year, so it’s no surprise that only 11 thousand folks came to see the 49ers get shut out 28-0 by Georgia State.
Worst overall Power Five attendance week 4: 23,901 – Kansas vs West Virginia. With the way the Jayhawks have performed over the last —well, it’s been a while— there’s no surprise that KU had plenty of empty seats on Saturday as Mountaineers came to town, but man did it look empty. Those who showed up were sent home disappointed, as WVU won 56-34. Here’s an action shot:
Emptiest FCS stadium as a percentage of capacity, week 4: Yale (17.8% full, 10,926 in attendance)
Emptiest FBS stadium as a percentage of capacity, week 4: Rice (27% full, 18,932 in attendance)
Emptiest FBS Power Five stadium as a percentage of capacity, week 4: Kansas (47.7% full, 23,901 in attendance)
And now, for your browsing pleasure, every game and the corresponding attendance for week 4.
Enjoy!
