UConn 2018 Football Attendance

[noeynox]

Honestly - UConn needed non alum fans to fill the Rent during 1.0. The reality is that the alums of the flagship are not great fans/supporters of the school and the program especially during down periods. My opinion based on a few data points - horrible endowment compared to other flagships, number of high $$ donors compared to other flagships, unsold, very discounted young alum season tickets. Feels like many of us non-alums bleed national flag blue and white more than many alums..

Always shocked how many non alums were on this forum.

While you are right about the weather, nobody cared by that point. We didn’t even come close to a sellout against defending national champs UCF on opening night. No juice.

People didn't care about the game, you're right but they were going to show up because it was homecoming.

Here’s what a sellout in Piscataway looks like.

The dollar bills from the B1G can occupy a lot of those seats, though, and they do sell-out when NYC alumni and fans of Michigan, Penn St, and Ohio stop by for a good old fashioned whipping of the Scarlet Knights...

Memphis football attendance falls by 9.4 percent for 2018, declines for third straight year

>>Over its seven home games in 2018, Memphis’ announced attendance was 211,247 fans, an average of 30,178 fans per game. The attendance is a 9.4 percent decrease from 2017’s announced attendance of 233,150, and the per-game average is the lowest since Memphis averaged 28,537 fans in 2013.

But announced attendance is different than the number of fans who actually attend a game. Announced attendance is the number of tickets handed out or sold, not how many actually show up for a game.

Based on actual attendance, Memphis totaled 124,643 fans this past season, which averages out to 17,806 fans per game. That’s less than 2017, when the Tigers had 127,153 actual fans for an average of 18,165 fans.<<
