Miami had Florida at home in there first 5 games last year and Pitt had Florida State. I'm sure that had something to do with their declines in attendance.

I think the rising rates of downright extortion to sell tickets and parking spaces will catch up eventually.

You mean the fact that Miami has no fans that care to attend their games has nothing to do with it?

Maryland's two home games played so far were against teams with a large concentration of DC alumni (JMU, WVU). Those two games last year in Byrd at this time were against FIU and ODU.

This is a good point. I think there were probably about 6-8k JMU fans at that game and it looked like WVU brought at least 15k for their showdown with UMD.
I imagine the trend will continue because Ohio State has many fans and alums in the DC area, which is probably the most transient area of the country.

They should honestly tarp off the whole upper deck for Miami games to cap it at a more small private school friendly 45K which is in line with their current attendance which is actually pretty good for most P5 privates to be between 45-50K attendance with USC and ND as the only exceptions to the rule among the P5

Look at the link in the article on "right-sizing." It talks a little about "right-pricing."

What are talking about? Everybody in the upper deck is just wearing a head to toe orange gimp suit.

That's not a bad idea...
I don't know why people act surprised at Miami's attendance. Attendance wasn't great during the championship runs either. This is what usually happens in a pro-sport towns. "If you win, they will come" is not always a given.

I'm saying that the reason there was a decline from last year through 5 games is that they had Florida fans filling up the stadium.
Attendance in general is so low because Miami has no fans that care to attend games.

The misleading and funny part of the OP's thread title is that Maryland's 46,000 actually drags down the Big 10's average attendance numbers. It is only a boost for Maryland whose attendance figures will damage the Big 10's average, and significantly damage them at that.

A sample size of two doesn't usually have much statistical significance.

Yet another misleading headline about attendance. The headline says "College football attendance down 1 percent in 2014," but if you do the math that they provide for you you find that P5 attendance is up 0.12%.
The average per game for all FBS programs very well might be down, but that's because there's 3 new FBS teams this year - App State, GA Southern, and ODU. Even if those 3 averaged 25,000 (which they don't), that would be enough to pull the entire NCAA average per game down by about 1%.
*math: 45,192 (last year's average) *128 = 5,784,576
5,784,576 + 25,000*3 = 5,859,576
5,859,576 / 131 = 44,730, which is 1.02% lower than 45,192

I realize that. But attendance at Miami is such a joke that I figured everyone could use a laugh at their expense.
UpStreamRedTeam's comment that all their fans were wearing orange prison jump suits was pretty good too.

And the number of schools has gone from 119 in 2008 to 128 now. And they have added 21 schools since the last time a school dropped (Pacific in 1995).
And expansion was a negative for every conference in average attendance. Even the SEC, adding Missouri and Texas A&M, lowered their average attendance.
