NCAA Football 2019 Attendance, Week 12: Basketball Season at Duke




Week 12 saw average attendance move back down to 22,203 from 23,348 across all of Division I, the level where it had been for the few weeks prior to last week. Once again we also had two games under 1,000 fans. Let’s take a look at how everyone else fared, shall we?

Worst overall Division I attendance: 827 – Delaware State vs Norfolk State. Not a ton of interest in seeing the 2-8 Hornets face off against a sub-500 Norfolk State team. With only 827 in attendance, many of whom sat on the visiting sideline, it wasn’t a great look:

Worst overall FBS attendance: 7,249 – Ball State vs Central Michigan.  Another week, another MAC team at the bottom. One of the lowest FBS attended games of the year, this time in Muncie, where only 7,249 saw a shootout between the Cardinals and the Chippewas. With a 45-44 final in favor of CMU, the few home fans that showed up were sent home disappointed.

Worst overall Power Five attendance: 16,286 – Duke vs Syracuse. Even the announced attendance seems ridiculous when you see the crowd shot, below. Heck, if Cameron Indoor Stadium had capacity for it, I suspect Duke basketball could outdraw this against Syracuse this season. Duke got stomped, by the way, 49-6. Your action shot:

Emptiest FCS stadium as a percentage of capacity: Holy Cross (2.2% full, 526 in attendance)

Emptiest FBS stadium as a percentage of capacity: UTSA (21.8% full, 14,179 in attendance)

Emptiest FBS Power Five stadium as a percentage of capacity: Duke (40.7% full, 16,286 in attendance)

And now, for your browsing pleasure, every game and the corresponding attendance for week 12.

Enjoy!
