pretty bad attendance across the board. I believe thunderstorms around Troy kept the sensitive locals in their houses.

Knock that zero off the end of Troy's attendance and you have what it looked like were there on TV.

It's understandable though. Small city and all.

Probably about 10 K at Lockahart. Student section was filled and the Home section was as too.

As usual the Visitor and other endzone were ghost towns.

No matter how many "townies" show up, TROY still has enough to finish off you guys, with or without Dasher

Actually, ULM's game against Arkansas counted as a home game for ULM. That game's attendance was 55,705. Therefore, our average home attendance is 35,495.

probably after the hour and a half delay when everyone went home... not during the first half though.

Maybe, but I can't find where it is listed as a ULM home game in the NCAA site attendance stats. Sad that you'd even need or want that game to count toward attendance. I'll be glad when 'phantom' home games are not longer necessary or needed by any Belt team. Occasional games in larger nearby stadiums for big games; OK. Games like ULM's Arkansas series; NO.

I'm extremely pissed that our "fans" can't stand a little rain... After the delay, aside from the band, I'd say there were maybe 2,000 people there. Some fans we have...

:odie:Odie's attendance sad sacks.
(Not making the 15,000 grade)

9,932 - #120 Ball State (MAC)
13,008 - #119 Akron (MAC)
13,428 - #118 Idaho (WAC)
14,774 - #117 Miami Ohio (MAC)

No Belt teams

The SB generally has better attendance than the MAC. I believe EMU only averaged 1k last season.

That's pitiful lol... WKU, the newest member of the FBS, had 20,000+ at their first game this season.

To witness our 23rd straight loss at that.

I have to wonder what our attendance will be if we ever have a good team.

WKU has a good following; if they would ever start winning I would think they would be one of the top in SBC attendance.

USA is kicking everyone's butt in attendance... I can only imagine how their attendance will be once they start FBS.

Oh, okay. But I remember them having a game with just a little over 1k. I just probably got confused.

Here is the updated attendances for true home games:

Team Average Attendance
UNT 23,743
ASU 23,176
USA 22,775
MTSU 21,357
WKU 20,772
FIU 19,872
Troy 18,103
Louisiana 16,176
ULM 15,283
FAU 15,143

5K.

That number is inflated considerably by their game against Army, which draws everywhere. Their game against Army drew 14,499, their other four home games combined drew 10,581.

Army 14,499
Temple 3,364
Kent State 2,401
Ball State 1,535
WMU 3,281

There are bad FCS teams that draw better than this.

UL's attendance is about to go way down after that lost sat. night.
