This year, about half the conference could average 35-40K (or more). Still, adding 10K to the per game conference attendance average is a big hill to climb.
For ish and giggles, here are the AAC teams to date, along with occasionally mentioned expansion teams

UNLV MWC 31,594 15,797 36,800 42.93 2
Keep in mind with all of these, we are only one and 2 games in. A lot of teams have played a 1AA school which likely harmed their attendance, and is either their only home game, or one of two.
South Alabama also had an impressive number, but they did play Miss St, so that is a bit of an anomaly.
Speaking of which, SMU hosts A&M this weekend.
I hope we see the average rise a good bit after this weekend. UCF & ECU play at home (I think both are sold out--I know we are for sure), UH plays at home and Memphis hosts an in-state team.
