Florida is a state that has many pro teams to pull for. Their pro football isn't that good so people gravitate to the college football side with that sport. But basketball and baseball, while Florida is good at both, struggles to pull interest away from NBA and MLB.

You think basketball is more popular than baseball at LSU?

I just randomly picked a year and we did it in 2014 as well.

Baseball averaged 8100.

Basketball averaged 6800.

If you want to look at attendance, you have to compare the average Saturday attendance of both sports. Baseball gets a boost because the Friday night game, saturday, and sunday games are all easier for most people to get to than a Tuesday or Wednesday night basketball game in Starkville.

But as other people have noted, people watching tv count also. If you just ant to know what's popular at the school, not sure how you tease out actual fan and alumni from viewership by people that are just college basketball fans period, regardless of what school is on.
