2015 Regular Season Attendance (spoiler: Michigan wins)
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 only care about DCC's.

Touché.

Approximately 1 seat for each DCC thread.

Between Eastern and Michigan? That must be the shortest 16 miles on Earth.

The "1" key was feeling under-utilized and attempted a coup d'état.

Betcha never thought this thread would stand as a beacon of light in a sea of hopelesness, did you?

I find it hard to believe that Eastern is averaging almost 5K people per game. I thought it would be way less.

I wonder if the road team had the most fans at each game.

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.

That is, actually, an excellent question about how they're getting around the 15,000 attendance requirement.

Does anyone have any shots of the display on the Bill Martin Concourse?

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.
