NCAA Basketball 2019-20 Attendance, Week 15: Highest Attended Week of the Year
As some conference races heat up, it’s surprising to see average attendance hit 5,000 for the first point this year. Despite that, still 45 games managed to draw three-digit crowds. Without further ado, let’s take a look: Number of games drawing fewer than 1,000 fans: 45 (Season total: 827) Here are the 3 lowest attended…

NCAA Basketball 2019-20 Attendance, Week 6: Funny Numbers
I just wanted to get this out of the way for all of us. There were 69 games with fewer than 1,000 college basketball fans last week. That brings the season number up to 420 games with fewer than 1,000 in attendance. I wish I were making that up. ANYWAY, elsewhere, average attendance dropped from…

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…

NCAA Basketball Week 16: Nobody in South Carolina Watches Basketball
South Carolina Upstate has the smallest arena in NCAA Division I men’s basketball with a capacity of 878. But this week’s bottom three attendance doesn’t involve the Spartans of USC-U, who drew 517 and 837 to their two games this week. With those totals, South Carolina Upstate outdrew two other South Carolina schools, whose game attendances would’ve…

Week 14 NCAA College Basketball Attendance – First Week Over 5,000!
This was a week of the highest highs and lowest lows. For the first time this season, attendance averaged above 5,000. On the other end, one school in the bottom three offered a free snack if you came to their game… But it didn’t work so well. Let’s take a look: Number of games drawing…

Not to be outdone by Southern, who drew fewer than 500 fans in two home games last week, the story of this week is Howard U. The Bison hosted THREE games this week and had exactly 500 fans in attendance. At least that’s what they reported….. Let’s take a look: Number of games drawing fewer…

Numbers have somewhat bounced back this week after the winter storm that shook the east coast a couple of weeks ago, overall average attendance is slightly up this week. Where the attendance changes are mostly seen are on the bottom of the list, however, as fewer teams drew sub 1000 compared to last week (only 16 this week,…
