2015 Regular Season Attendance (spoiler: Michigan wins)

Submitted by markp on

Per NCAA.org, Michigan took first place, averaging 110,168 per game. Not too surprising.

On the other end of the spectrum (and yet just 6 miles away), Eastern Michigan was dead-last, averaging 4,897 per game (not a typo). They brought in just 29,831 folks for the entire season (6 games), which is less than their actual stadium capacity.

Also of note, Orgeon packs the most people in relative to stadium capacity (106.72%).

I feel for Eastern.  They have everything stacked against them.  I'm not sure how they get around the NCAA's minimum attendance requirement every season.  Hopefully Creighton can make them semi-competitive over the next 2-3 seasons.

I think it will be yours again for a while. I don't see a long stretch of mediocrity like you had, let alone another toxic AD. I doubt anyone adds enough seats. PSU is talking about reducing seats. I don't see us adding more. I don't know enough about the way the bigger SEC stadia are built to know if they could conceivably add more.

The only threat is Texas, but there's no way they are expanding DKR at this time. 

Attendance at Longhorns games peaked in 2012 at 100,884. Since then, the Longhorns have been losing a lot of games and fans who once came out in force to any Texas home game are now staying home. In 2015, the average attendance at Texas home games is 89,182.
