We’re back again this week, and with it a shocking new season low for Division 1 attendance. In fact, the number is so low it would be in the bottom 1% of college BASKETBALL attendance last year. So let’s take a look, shall we?
Worst overall Division 1 attendance last week: 471 – Jacksonville vs Drake on Saturday. Can you believe it? Fewer than 500 attended the game between the Dolphins and the Bulldogs, which Drake won in the last minutes 31-27, sending home scores of saddened Dolphins fans. To the credit of Jacksonville U, they could’ve probably inflated their numbers a bit by counting the players and support staff (the old, plus the stands don’t really look like they’re only at 10% of the 5,000 seat stadium’s capacity:

Worst overall FBS attendance last week: 4,790 – Northern Illinois vs Bowling Green. It’s hard not to give the Northern Illinois fans a pass on this one, as the MAC contest was held directly opposite to the Cubs-Indians World Series Game Six, which perhaps the people in the Northern Illinois area may have been inclined to watch. Either way, the recently expanded Huskie [sic] Stadium sat a hair above 10% full on Tuesday night for NIU’s 45-20 victory:
Worst overall Power Five attendance last week: 25,334 – Wake Forest vs Virginia. For the second straight week, Wake wins At 78% full, this is more of a function of Wake Forest’s size rather than a lack of fan interest. Deacon fans were treated to a 27-20 win over Virginia this week.
Emptiest FBS stadium as a percentage of capacity: Arkansas-Pine Bluff (8.4% full, 1,347 in attendance)
Emptiest FBS Power Five stadium as a percentage of capacity: Duke (66.5% full, 38,217 in attendance)
And now, for your browsing pleasure, every game and the corresponding attendance for this week. Enjoy!
