i dont really pay attention to the others...because i dont know how you can trust any of them when uconn's averaging 27k a game.

i'm sure they report paid not actual thru the turnstiles

Up 4% when the entire nation was down 4% is a good number.

Especially when you add in that of the 7 games:
-1 was labor day (people have cape / islands / saratoga homes )
-1 was a friday night
-1 was thanksgiving weekend

this tells me its time to fill in the corners in the upper deck

Didn't Temple play Ped State at the Linc this year? That would significantly inflate their average.

The data counts only home games and not neutral-site venues. Figures represent the announced crowd totals schools reported to the NCAA and not necessarily actual attendance.

We did not have a home game during the Labor Day weekend of the 2014 season. Hopefully, we never will.
Kind of depressing that we could not sellout the FSU game last season and the Clemson game this year. Both were the ideal start time (3:30), great weather and marquee opponents.

I don't get why this isn't normalized. And, when given the choice, I don't know why schools (such as us) voluntarily include scanned tickets when we could instead use tickets sold.

Not sure if that would help us. We give away tickets to charity so there could actually be more tickets scanned than sold for some games.

Do you really think that is true?

twballgame9 {l Wrote}:Militant's point is that counting actual tickets might help rather than hurt because BC gives away tickets. Not sure I agree, I think there are a lot of people that buy tickets and go MIA that overwhelm any increase through free tickets.

It was no fun seeing all those empty seats at Rentschler Field this past season. The announced crowd of 22,591 (tickets distributed) aside, you know how many fans went through the turnstiles for the final home game on Dec. 6? According to the CRDA, it was 5,300. Yes, the weather was lousy. Yes, SMU and UConn were lousy, but 5,300 is beyond sobering.

Agreed, although when Bob Diaco eventually kills someone, we should be talk about it again for an hour or two.

This.

I couldn't imagine how BC could construct a worse schedule.

Viewing wise it sucks but it helps get wins with our young roster. At this point in the prrocess, I would rather develope wade and our offensive and defensive lines with a manageable schedule. Going no worse than 6-6 is much better than going 4-8 with a 'formidable' schedule.

Recruits don't care if you go 6-6 beating up on FCS teams. You'd be better off to win 4 games with a marquee national win like USC last year

Yeah, but you're a millenial that somehow avoided the gaping pussy gene that the rest of your peers did
