Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 4763284, member: 7492"] The official NCAA WCBB attendance numbers have not been released but I have collected the P5 +BE data to show a recap of last year plus a 5 year trend for the conferences. The big surprise is the BIG TEN passed the SEC last year with an average attendance of 4,698 to 4,482. The Big Ten jumped up 36% from 2021-22 (3,455) led by both Indiana (8,104) and Iowa (11,143), both of whom had huge jumps from the previous year due to their Tournament success in 2021-22. The other good news is the Big 12 also drew over 4,395 fans per game in 2022-23, led by Iowa St (10,323) and Texas Tech (4,923). I am impressed by the Red Raider fans to keep sticking with their team! The chart below shows the conferences in 2022-23 attendance order (descending) and the 6 previous years (2020-21 did not have attendees). On the whole, the P5 + BE have seen growth in 2023 vs. 2020 as I think 2022 was a bounce back year (good attendance but less than 2020 due to a Covid hangover) after no attendance in 2021. The chart shows the History of the BE both with and without the UConn numbers. As our fine colleague [USER=6872]@visitingcock[/USER] noted in the Big Ten thread, viewership is up quite a bit which is awesome, the gate receipts have not matched that yet. The second chart shows the top attendance school in each conference last year the bottom school. For us, PC needed to make a change as their attendance is abysmal at 474 fans per game. Their arch-rival in the sparsely populated southern section-URI is drawing 1,397 fans per game. Washington State was a surprise for me with a lowly 902 attendees as that team has been good. The sad 1,320 fans that Northwestern entertains each game, tells me they need to have Joe McKeown needs to retire. Pleasantly, West Virginia is last with a strong 2,176 fans and shows why the Big 12 is consistently 2nd or 3rd in Conference attendance year after year.
