NCAA Football 2019 Attendance, Week 15: Conference Championship Week
Week 15 saw average attendance skyrocket to 34,666 from 28,379 across all of Division I, on account of FCS Playoffs making up a larger percentage of the weekly games played. This week we still had a game under 5,000 fans. Let’s take a look at how everyone else fared, shall we? Worst overall Division I…
NCAA Football 2019 Attendance, Week 14: Rivalry Week

NCAA Football 2019 Attendance, Week 13: Lowest FBS and FCS Attendance of the Year
Week 13 saw average attendance stay flat at 22,542 from 22,203 across all of Division I, the level where it had been for the few weeks prior to last week. This week we had three games under 1,000 fans, including one barely above 500. Let’s take a look at how everyone else fared, shall we?…
NCAA Football 2019 Attendance, Week 9: Sub-1000 FCS Game
Week nine saw average attendance drop by nearly 1,000 from 24,044 to 23,087 across all of Division I, largely on the back of poor weather throughout the midwest, I’m guessing. Five games were below 10,000 in the FBS, three in the MAC and two in Conference USA. Let’s take a look at how everyone else…
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 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, Weeks 7 & 8: The Lowest Attended FBS Game of the Year
Weeks seven and eight have passed, and it’s time for another attendance update. With cooler weather across the nation, plenty of fans were willing to go to football games, except at Miami of Ohio, who recorded the lowest attended FBS game of the year with merely 5,003 in attendance. For the rest of D1 Football,…
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…
NCAA Football Attendance: 2017 Season, Week 12: SWAC = Stadium Without A Crowd?
Time again for your week in review on NCAA Division I Football attendance. Average attendance was up to 26,460 this week, one of the highest levels of the season. Despite that, three of the lowest attended games of the year happened last week: two of them in the SWAC. Let’s take a look, shall we?…
