CUSA Attendance?
Anyone have any figures on average CUSA attendance so far? I would guess it's pretty good so far compared to last year since we had some good home games vs big name teams.

Any idea how it stacks up to the other G5 conferences?

I only know about MT's - we're down. Around 16,000 officially for both games.

Been to both home games this year. Really disappointed in attendance. Historically, 2/3 of our fair weather fans are UT wannabees. The rest: Vandy or some other SEC school are their No.1 crush! Jeez, why do they prefer watching the urenge play Western Carolina or the dores play Austin Peay? We have a really good ball team and they deserve some more BUTTS in the seats!

Rice has only had 1 home game against Wagner so far. 18.2K attendance but in this case the opponent literally only brought a few dozen fans.

Maddening. And then most of the folks on BRZ act like I am preaching blasphemy by grumping at marketing for not doing anything at all to bring folks to the stadium.

Marketing is the key, and those who ignore MT's failure in this area (or claim that the effort is a good one) are sorely mistaken! We have less publicity in the Nashville Market than a hockey team, a minor league baseball team, and a FCS Tennessee State athletic program.
INEXCUSABLE!!!!!

UTEP hasn't had a home game yet, so CUSA's average attendance is down. Significantly. 04-cheers

I'm excited to know that Marshall has an average of over 30,000 and the leader after 2 games, but I know that UTEP will be the highest next week.

Middle's attendance sucks.

I remember playing them in the NOLA Bowl a few years ago and they traveled really well for that game.

What gives?

Dude, I don't know. I mean, the name recognition certainly hasn't been there with an FCS and Charlotte, but I would still have expected 18-19k at this point. We'll have 27k+ for Vandy, but I'm still pretty disappointed. Pitiful.

And y'all appear to have a pretty good team. Maybe after you beat Vandy people will take notice.

We played JSU at the same time UT was playing a game in Nashville. This week we played Charlotte, only the 16K diehards came.

Our attendee is weak. But I think if we had a big name opponent like you all had that was a state rival I would think it would be higher - we have Vandy in 2 weeks. But the difference is Vandy might bring 1500 fans. We are just in a unigue market that competes with both pro sports as well as UTK. Plus our team was been average since the 2009 year.

MT has four crowds over 20K since joining the league. Safe to say local residents don't think much of C-USA.
