We have a changing of the guard happening! From a conference perspective the SEC has been dethroned! The Big 10 and it's 14 teams are averaging 5,588 fans per game this year (1,039,375 for 186 games) while the SEC and it's 14 teams are 5,124 (953,042 for 186 games).
Big 10 with 5.588 and Iowa at 14,998; Northwestern last with 2,186
SEC with 5,124 and SC at 16,219 (LSU at 11,390) and Florida last with 1,697
The PAC 12 is a distant 3rd at 3,820 with Arizona 7,257 and WSUs pathetic 1,143 fans per game!
The Big 12 at 3,472 with Iowa State at 9,830 and UCF last with 1,210
The ACC with 3,275 with Louisville 8,288 and BC dead last with 1,104
6th is the Big East 2,069 with UConn 11,092 and Xavier last with 755 (Seton Hall w/781; PC w/800 and Georgetown w/881).
The current top 6 are (last years attendance in parenthesis):
SC-16,219 (12,942) up 25.3%
Iowa-14,998 (11,143) up 34.6%
LSU-11,390 (8,733) up 30.4%
UConn-11.092 (10,255) up 8.2%
Iowa State-9,830 (10,323) down 4.8%
Indiana -9,303 (8,104) up 26.6%
Three things jump out to me:
1. SC had a huge increase despite all the talent they lost-really impressive
2. Iowa despite the huge increase is still 2nd
3. Kim Mulkey, while controversial has seen the attendance jump from 2,036 with Fargas to 7,167 (yr 1), 8,733 (yr 2) to 11,390 in year 3!
The current average for UConn is their highest average since 2005-06 when they averaged 11,521, 18 years!!!
