It’s Finals season and winter break in the college world, so this is always one of the worst attendance weeks of the year. This year is no different, with a season record for most games drawing fewer than 1,000 fans.
Number of games drawing fewer than 1,000 fans: 46
The lowest 3 attended games?
3. Bethune-Cookman vs The Citadel – A measly 202 came out on Wednesday night in Daytona Beach to see the 4-6 Bethune-Cookman Wildcats fall by 11 to the Citadel, who improved their record to 7-4.
2. Tennessee State vs Alcorn State – Meanwhile in Memphis, 176 watched the 9-2 Tennessee State Tigers take on the perennially terrible 1-8 Braves of Alcorn State. The game itself was close, TSU taking the win 81-76. Here’s the only shot of the arena (for any of the bottom 3 this week) I could find:
1. Morgan State vs Manhattan – And the “winner” this week was Morgan State who drew a mere 126, which happens to be the third lowest attendance overall this season, and the smallest on-campus game all year. In fact, the game didn’t even seem to be attended by anyone with a camera. Manhattan themselves used a photo from an earlier game vs Memphis in their recap article.
Biggest group of people to see a loss at home this week: Purdue (vs Butler), 19,156, neutral site game. True home game: Nebraska (vs Samford), 14,871.
Smallest group of people to see a win at home this week: Tennessee State (vs Alcorn State), 176.
Smallest Power Conference attendance: Washington State (vs Texas State), 1,233.
Average attendance this week: 5,068 (down 365 (6.7%) over last week)
And of course, your full attendance numbers by game:
