Baseball attendance

[wpmusm]

Thought some would find this interesting. Here are the NCAA baseball attendance rankings for the '16 regular season. Hit sort by average.

Mississippi only state with 2 in the top 5. Only Texas and Mississippi with at least 3 in the top 20 average.

Does that include "'lifetime' paid attendance"?

 

[ShrubDog]

Does this include the empty grandstand chairback seats

 

[rem101]

Despite all the empty chair backs and people not showing up, there are 130 teams with total season attendance lower than our average attendance.

Have a very hard time believing these based solely on Ark being at #3 given the record they had this year.

USC.....16,689

Total att for 27 home games. wow

I'm old enough to remember when they were winning 3-4 Natty's in a row.

Try 7 in a row and 11 in 20 years. Rod Dedeaux was to college baseball what John Wooden was to college basketball.

It's very possible. They always have a couple of thousand in the grass terraces

partying, no matter what the season is like.

NW Arkansas has a population of 500k within an hour drive of Baum. Razorback sports are #1 for fan interest by miles up there.

I don't buy OMs attendance figures.

Paid attendance, not actual attendance. Arkansas has the most good seats = sells the most season chairbacks = those count every game.

They do always have good actual attendance though.
