NCAA Football 2019 Attendance, Week 14: Rivalry Week




Week 14 saw average attendance skyrocket to 34,666 from 22,542 across all of Division I, on account of FCS Playoffs beginning. This week we still had two games under 2,000 fans. Let’s take a look at how everyone else fared, shall we?

Worst overall Division I attendance: 1,660 – Albany vs Central Connecticut State. The lowest attended FCS Playoff game drew poorly as Albany had never won an FCS playoff game. That changed after they went down 14-0 as the Great Danes then scored 42 unanswered points to advance to play Montana State next week. Your action shot :

Worst overall FBS attendance: 3,568 – Northern Illinois vs Western Michigan.  Another week, yet another MAC team at the bottom. This set another lowest record for attendance in the FBS season with only a few more than 3,500 in attendance. The Huskies proceeded to then eke out the win against the Broncos, 17-14. Here’s the rainy, dreary shot that the Athletic Department will be sure to subtweet @AMSTS about:

Worst overall Power Five attendance: 15,913 – Duke vs Miami. Duke’s second appearance in this slot this season, and even after losing to Stephen F. Austin, it seems people are all in on Duke Basketball more than football. A shame, because the Blue Devils won 27-17.

Emptiest FCS stadium as a percentage of capacity: Wofford (15.3% full, 1,992 in attendance)

Emptiest FBS stadium as a percentage of capacity: Northern Illinois (7.8% full, 3,568 in attendance)

Emptiest FBS Power Five stadium as a percentage of capacity: Duke (39.8% full, 15,913 in attendance)

And now, for your browsing pleasure, every game and the corresponding attendance for week 14.

Enjoy!
