Time again to take a look at NCAA Football attendance for the last week. Average attendance was down to 25,514 this week, with a lot of high attendance programs on the bye. Let’s take a look, shall we?
Worst overall Division 1 attendance week 5: 1,456- Charleston Southern vs Miss Valley State. With the 0-2 Delta Devils in town, there was little to motivate the Charleston Southern fans to show up, coupled with the third smallest stadium hosting a game this week. The matchup played out as expected as Charleston Southern dominated Mississippi Valley State 58-7.
Worst overall FBS attendance week 5: 7,696 – UMass vs Ohio. While only just over 7,500 fans showed up to this one, they got to see a barnburner. Ohio sent the Minutemen faithful home disappointed after a back and forth game that ended 58-50 in the Bobcats favor.
Worst overall Power Five attendance week 5: 27,036 – Boston College vs Central Michigan. Massachusetts makes the list again with BC’s P5 lowest attendance of the week, with only 61% of Alumni Stadium filled up on a miserably rainy day in Chestnut Hill. Those who weathered the storm were rewarded with a 28-8 victory, but judging from the picture, the announced 27,036 seems a bit high:
Emptiest FCS stadium as a percentage of capacity, week 5: Georgetown (7.1% full, 3,256 in attendance)
