Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3381627, member: 7492"] I have been reviewing the last 7 years of attendance for all of WCBB and while UConn usually ranks anywhere from 2nd to 5th on a home attendance amount, I decided to look at "the Circus" on the road. I looked at all of the UConn road attendance then compared it to the teams home average, and no surprise, there were HUGE differences in every game. [USER=6927]@Plebe[/USER] also advised that maybe I could also recalculated the "new home attendance" without the UConn fans and then did a new "home average" and then compared the actual average to the "non-UConn" average and the numbers were surprising as the changes represent the whole HOME SCHEDULE percentage change. In 2019-19 alone, [B]93,800[/B] fans saw 14 UConn's away games, an average of [B]6,700[/B] per game. This would have been 10th on the "Home attendance average" behind Iowa (6,797) and ahead of Purdue (6,515). That is astounding. Overall, having 1 UConn game on your home court, created a 16.3% increase in attendance ON YOUR SEASON AVERAGE! In other words, 53,293 more fans came to the 14 UConn games last year than would have attended otherwise. SC sold out 18,000 fans (vs. 10,406 average) and Louisville had 17,023 fans (vs. 9,531). Overall, on a game average was almost double your normal home attendance for that one game at 191.5% UConn game increase over your average game. St. Louis (390%) and California (386%) both has almost a 4 times increase in their per game attendance with UConn in the arena In the 7 years, an average 75,394 MORE fans came to UConn games than otherwise. The average attendance boost was 15.9% (low of 13.6% to 17.4%). Imagine boosting your yearly attendance average by 16% by adding one team to your schedule-wow, just wow.:) Now, all that said, I have a ton of data and am not sure how to present it so I am open to suggestions from you. Before any of you get carried away, I am not doing another teams ROAD attendance-too much work! I have also grouped the average home attendance by conference and have done the P5+Big East and American for the Conference Tournaments. Spoiler alert: Guess which Conference has the highest average per session attendance each of the last 7 years??? Happy New Year to each of you and Thank you for your contributions to the BY!
