RE: Helping Nippert Attendance
For reference:
Best Attendance in the G5/Independent last year (* for schools in cities with pro sports)
Air Force 27,701
Army 31,693
Boise State 33,068
BYU 52,476
UC 30,519
Colorado State 29,504
East Carolina 32,908
Fresno State 31,503
Houston 29,838*
Memphis 30,178*
Navy 31,464*
San Diego State 31,439*
USF 38,517*
UCF 44,019
Taking BYU out of the equation for a minute, USF and UCF have us beat (San Diego State too but we are so close the difference is marginal). Obviously UCF does not have professional sports and they are riding the wave of not losing for 2 years. USF plays in a NFL stadium and has had a reputation of ** cough ** not be accurate in their attendance reporting.
Just for kicks here the P5 schools with the worst attendance last year (* pro towns)
Baylor 41,336
Boston College 37,623*
Cal 42,866
Duke 26,646
Georgia Tech 43,087*
Illinois 36,151
Indiana 40,965
Kansas 19,424
Maryland 33,594
Minnesota 37,915*
North Carolina 43,622
Northwestern 43,873*
Oregon State 35,209
Pitt 41,696*
