2018 MLB Attendance, Ejections, and Weather, Week of 4/22/18: The Oakland Single As? | Below the Box Score
Only three ejections this week, as level heads prevail, which means that the focus this week is on the attendance. Or, I suppose I should say: the lack thereof. In fact, there was a team that didn’t draw over 10,000 fans once this week in three home games. Let’s get down to business. Attendance was,…
Below the Box Score: 2018 MLB Attendance, Weather, and Ejections. April 16: Eleven Ejections!
We are in the heat of things thanks to a couple of brawls on Wednesday.

But that wasn’t the only excitement this week, let’s take a look. The Miami Marlins made the news…
Below the Box Score: 2018 MLB Attendance, Ejections, & Weather. April 8: NL Ejection Runaway!
Our first full week of the season and it feels like we’re fully back in the swing of things. Besides some weird things regarding scheduling due to MLB’s wishes to give home team’s a day off mid series to protect home openers, everything looks as it should this week. With one notable exception. For the…
Below the Box Score, 2018 MLB Attendance, Ejections, and Weather: Opening Day!
A new season is upon us, and it’s time again to look at what’s happening in the wonderful world of weather, attendance, and ejectons. We’re excited to have you back for the 2018 season, and have spent some of the offseason updating our data sources which should mean more reliable data for the full season.…
NCAA Basketball Attendance: 2017-2018 Season in Review!
For every week this year, we reviewed the lowest attendance throughout college basketball. Ultimately, we set a new record for lowest attended college basketball game ever, while a game that was closed to the public managed to still outdraw a dozen games this season.

NCAA Basketball Attendance, Conference Championship Week: Still Three Below 1000!
Conference tournaments wrapped up this week, and with it our weekly column comes to a wrap. Next week we’ll have a review of the full season, but there was still some great #content this week.

NCAA Basketball Attendance, 2017 Week 16: Seven Hundred Sub-1000 Games This Year!
As we edge closer to conference championship week (or if you’re a Big Ten fan, the bye week), some games are critical in determining seeding for the tournament. On the other hand, quite a few games have very little impact. Most of those games ended up on our list this week. We also hit the…
NCAA Basketball Attendance, 2017 Season, Week 15: Valentine’s Day in the Patriot League
Some frequent offenders in the bottom three this week, as Presbyterian takes the bottom spot once again.

NCAA Basketball Attendance, 2017 Week 14: Arizona State’s Fall From Grace
A mirror matchup this week made the bottom three as St. Francis took on St. Francis. Beyond that, Arizona State, who started out 12-0, has now fallen so far that they drew the lowest attendance in the Power Five in the last week. And how did everyone else do? Let’s take a look at the full week:…
NCAA Basketball Attendance: 2017 Season, Week 13: Presbyterian Has A Bingo!
Some more variety at the bottom three from a team standpoint, but familiar conferences as the SWAC and Big South have representatives at the bottom of the list this week. Most interestingly, Presbyterian, who has struggled with attendance this year, matched a record from a previous year. And how did everyone else do? Let’s take a look…
NCAA Basketball Attendance, 2017 Week 12: NC State Doesn’t Believe in Home Court
Plenty of new faces in the bottom three this week, with a couple of conferences making their first appearance at the bottom of the rankings. Not only that, but some interesting but NC State won two games last week, both on the road. One was against the largest crowd of the week at UNC on…
NCAA Basketball Attendance, 2017 Week Ten: So That’s What Bobby Valentine Does Now
Despite my pleas for Nicholls fans to attend basketball games after last week’s double showing in the bottom three, they’re back this week. Again, this is despite the fact that Nicholls is in first place in the Southland, so it’s not like they’re a bad team! And they actively tried to bring more fans in…
