We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

If you ignore the mid-week games, the averages are going up steadily each year, and reached 20,977 this year. Sellouts for Saturday games in Peden are getting closer to reality.  I also note that FCS games do not show any drop in attendance.  In fact, Wofford, GW, and VMI were the highest attended games in their respective years. Interestingly, though, non-BCS FBS games were poorly attended, with lower turnouts for both Louisiana Lafayette and Wyoming. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Robert Fox General User Member Since: 11/16/2004 Location: Knoxville, TN Post Count: 2,039 Status: Offline     RE: 2010 attendance    Posted: 12/22/2010 2:50:25 PM  I suspect a lot of our attendance fluctuations have more to do with time of year than with perceived quality of opponent. The previous IAA opponents are early in the season (first game?), where the non-BCS opponents may have been less attractive weekends (no theme weekends like parents, or siblings, etc.).

The one FCS game that had weak attendance was UT-Martin, but since then it hasn't seemed to impact attendance, contrary to the predictions of some posters on this board. I'm not trying to imply that attendance of those games is better than others, just that it isn't a negative. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top Jeff McKinney Moderator Member Since: 11/12/2004 Post Count: 6,155 Status: Offline     RE: 2010 attendance    Posted: 12/22/2010 3:00:03 PM  Ted Thompson wrote: John C.

Interestingly, though, non-BCS FBS games were poorly attended, with lower turnouts for both Louisiana Lafayette and Wyoming. That first 15,000 wasn't a mid-week game. It was the Halloween game against Louisiana. Looking at that number compared to the other Saturdays cements the fact that we shouldn't schedule home games on Halloween. The Wofford and GW games were the season openers and VMI was homecoming. Clearly it doesn't matter who we schedule for those, they are always going to be highly attended. Wofford only drew 2000 less than UConn did in last year's opener.

I seem to remember a season opener earlier in the decade (SEMU St.? Northeastern?) that was sparsely attended. As in wow-this-is-college-football? sparse. Maybe that's just more evidence that even though we haven't made it to where we want to be, we are heading in the right direction.
