Week three saw average attendance drop from 31,002 to 28,896 across all of Division I, another step down from the first week of the season as one would expect, but on a percentage basis, there were very few empty stadiums.

NCAA Football 2019 Attendance, Week 1: Full-ish House
Week one couldn’t have asked for better crowds. A Labor Day weekend with big crowds from coast to coast, with only one game moved (unnecessarily, mind you, Florida State) due to weather, down from the last two years. The season has begun, what are we waiting for, let’s take a look, shall we? Worst overall…

NCAA Football 2018 Attendance, Week 13: Championship Week and FCS Playoffs Round Two
FBS Conference Championships happened this week, with another smattering of teams rescheduling games in an attempt to make a bowl. While that happened, top draw FCS playoff matchups happened with a berth in the quarterfinals on the line. Lots of reasons to see good football, but still plenty of empty seats. Let’s take a look,…
NCAA Football 2018 Attendance, Week 13: Rivalry Week and FCS Playoffs
Week thirteen kicks off the FCS playoffs – even if the crowds aren’t too interested yet – and perhaps is better known as being Rivalry Week.

Week twelve brings us in closer to rivalry week where attendance should peak, but even despite interesting scheduling by the SEC, attendance was up to 26,528, a gain of over 2,000 fans over last week. Even with that, we still had an FCS game below a thousand fans and an FBS Division winner playing in…
NCAA Football 2018 Attendance, Week 11: Big Ten, Little Crowd
Week eleven was marked by cold weather nationwide, but with it attendance found a way to rise 355 fans to an average of 24,350 last week. Even still, it was a story of “haves” and “have nots” with an FCS game below a thousand fans, a FBS game with fewer than 6,000. And best of…

NCAA Football 2018 Attendance, Week 6: Rose Bowl Half Empty or Half Full?
It was week six, and some programs fans have already had enough. Most surprisingly, UCLA only filled the Rose Bowl half full (or is it half empty?). Granted, it’s one of the bigger stadiums in college football, but sitting in the second largest city in America it has typically sat 60+% full. For the rest…
