The NCAA is slow this year to publish complied 2023-24 attendance figures, and slow to update record books (will post when the NCAA attendance book is out). Perhaps they are trying to correct some errors and inconsistencies in previous year's figures and record books, but I wouldn't hold my breath. The NCAA does have attendance info by team, e.g.:

NCAA Statistics (South Carolina)
NCAA Statistics (Iowa)

Based on NCAA team data, South Carolina was # 1 in average home attendance, becoming the 2nd team ever to average 16,000+ in home attendance. South Carolina and Iowa both beat the existing record for all games total attendance. South Carolina and Iowa became the 2nd and 3rd teams to average more than 12,000 for all games.

	2023-24 Att.	(bold = beats previous record)
	Avg. Home	Avg. Road	Avg. Neutral	Avg. All Games	Total Att.
South Carolina	16,067	6,258	12,241	12,063	458,397
Iowa	14906*	13,520	13,271	14,054	548,107
	(inc. Des
	Moines game)
	Previous Rec.	Previous Rec.		Previous Rec.	Previous Rec.
	16,565	8,424		12,164	445,925
	Tenn 1999	Baylor 2012		Tenn 1999	Tenn 2008

The NCAA website now has 2023-24 attendance info, but might be a work in progress (e.g. the table of contents page still refers to the 2022-23 season as of today). Also, I haven't seen any articles that usually track the release of this attendance information.

Thanks. Not a lot of surprises but a few.. Colorado with the biggest increase in home attendance by 3852 per game. U$C & Juju up by 3,350. I expect to see the troggans jump again this year.

No surprise: top year ever for overall attendance. 6 teams with 10,000+ avg home attendance. SCar still led everybody in home attendance. Iowa clearly led in all games attendance.

Next year will be interesting. SCar has home games against UConn, LSU, Texas, Oklahoma, Duke so should be another good year for us. U$C at Stoors will easily sell out.

U$C vs UCLA a few times will be interesting as will be SCar at UCLA. How will Cali fans react to big time wbb on their home floors?

Do Hartford games count as home games for UConn - or- do only Stoors games count?

Storrs and Hartford are considered home games

Pro markets seldom have top attendance in any college sport.

JuJu on the road in the BIG will be interesting. As the next BIG thing, can she fill road arenas/impact road attendance?

Huh? Oh. LA

My brother is a Maryland grad (and still lives in Md) and I grew up in NJ, so I'm familiar with Rutgers, which is my 2nd favorite school. It's just hard for college sports to get as much traction in pro markets. There are some rare exceptions, but not many.
