Haven't seen an ack game this year, but was curious as to home attendance figures. Does anyone have a handy link they could paste or link? Curious as to numbers.

I think attendance numbers are harder to come by this year. Sometimes ESPN reports them, sometimes not.

As long as there's a weenie comparison under way, here's the results for the Belt through Week 7.

Attendance Week 7 games:
26,058 - Appalachian State
23,250 - Georgia Southern
17,628 - Troy
10,196 - Georgia State

Attendance Average Year to Date:
28,798 - Louisiana Lafayette
28,163 - Arkansas State
25,378 - Appalachian State
24,739 - South Alabama
23,722 - Texas State
23,635 - Georgia Southern
18,760 - Troy
18,747 - Louisiana Monroe
16,226 - New Mexico State
14,804 - Idaho
11,825 - Georgia State

21,345 - Sun Belt Average

Don't know. Don't care.

If anyone does care, nbcsports.com has attendance in every box score.

I would be interested if everyone reported strictly "butts in the seats" numbers, but apparently no one does.

G5 schools, right? So about the same, right?

Smaller stadiums with empty seats or larger stadiums with more empty seats.

Fascinating stuff.

I guess I missed the part where he asked about the sunbelt.

Six of one, half a dozen of the other...

It is OK either way as long as the reporting is consistent.

But just for the hell of it, how would the butts in seats method count somebody who left or arrived at halftime? Would this make the butts in seats method half assed?

Cajuns do as well. Tickets scanned, not tickets sold.

As reported by ESPN
MTSU @ Marshall 30,210
Rice @Army 37,011

FIU @ UTSA 25,318
ODU @ UTEP 25,509

Try this. Go to misc. reports and then click on attendance.

SEC: 78,673
Big 10: 66,153
Big 12: 58,020
PAC 12: 52,173
ACC: 49,208
AAC: 31,811
MWC: 25,507
Sun Belt: 21,345
CUSA: 21,341
MAC: 17,231

What is the ceiling, so to speak? What is the maximum possible size for a football stadium, before you need binoculars? 110k?

Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Arkansas, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt have the smallest SEC stadiums, thus their ranking in the SEC "pecking order". Those 5 are all under 70k seats.

The ACC and AAC gap isn't THAT big. Still room for growth for a lot of programs.
