Week 3 Attendance

[Ivytalk]

Only 5272 at Harvard on a beautiful day to watch the Crimson beat San Diego.xsmhxxsmhx

[bulldog10jw]

2,689 at Georgetown for the Yale game.

[dgreco]

Only 2,418 at Bryant for the Maine game today.

[LehighU11]

7,346 at Goodman Stadium for Lehigh vs. Princeton.

[Mountaineer]

24,137 on hand to watch El Cid take App behind the shed.

A loss to Nooga next week and I'm not sure App clears 20K against Coastal. Might not happen anyway, the bandwagon is emptying. xbadx

No way App loses next week. Way too much talent. They are still one of the better programs in the country, and this whole week will be a come to Jesus moment for them. UTC is too much of a one-trick pony, and ASU specializes defending the spread.

[LeeshaJo]

11,532 in brookings today to watch SDSUs home opener

Nah. We'll get 25 just to see the new uni's.

[BlueHenSinfonian]

18,118 in attendance to see Delaware's defense finally start to come together vs. the Bucknell Bison.

Started with that many...about 65 saw the end.

[Mountaineer]

I was one of those gluttons for punishment who stuck it out until the end. xlolx

Hope 1990 and Hole are right about Coastal.

[Squealofthepig]

24,991 braved the Missoula smoke to watch Montana take down Liberty. (Air quality really sucks here of late).

[TUTigers]

8,309 for the home opener in Towson today.

[LehighU11]

8,309 for the home opener in Towson today. Pretty respectable figure. I was very impressed with Johnny Unitas Stadium when we visited last year. Great facility. Hopefully you can fill it to capacity as the playoffs come around.

[JMUNJ08]

45,511 reported at Fed Ex Field for the WVU vs. JMU game

[Apphole]

Me too man. I don't even think most of the people that left that late are necessarily fair weather. A thumping that hard is hard to stomach.

I respect people that stick it out to the bitter end.

I've seen my share of sickening things in our football stadium and it never gets easier, but I can't bring myself to bail out.

[Apphole]

The level of negative feedback from the student section today made me more mad than the game. I stayed till the end and scolded very jackass that booed and yelled "you suck" at our own team. Winning produces some spoiled brats, I must say. I stayed till the end and it might have paid off traffic wise.

[grayghost06]

Only 5272 at Harvard on a beautiful day to watch the Crimson beat San Diego.xsmhxxsmhx16822......seems a looooong time ago!

[Sader87]

16822......seems a looooong time ago!

It was....5,864 souls watched HC squander a 21-10 lead in the 4th quarter at Fitton today.

The days of a 10,000+ crowd for most FCS games on a Saturday afternoon in the Northeast are fading fast.

[ngineer]

7,346 at Goodman Stadium for Lehigh vs. Princeton.

I really question that number. I know it is the "official" number in the box score, but does that include students who don't pay? The home stand was almost full (est.7,000) with another 2,000 spread between the horseshow and visitor's side. I had estimated 8,500-9,000.

Lehigh needs a new ticket counter. The numbers have been off for 4 or 5 years now. The Holy Cross figure from last year was a joke.

[Bogus Megapardus]

8,376 saw Lafayette toast Penn in Easton.

[HailSzczur]

10,513 on the mainline today to watch the Villanova 2nd Half Wildcats rack up their first CAA win of the season and match last years win total.

But to be fair it was parents weekend, so the stands cleared out by halftime, and were probably down to like 4k towards the end as everyone scurried off to their 6pm dinner reservations at Gulifty's and Minella's.

[BluBengal07]

10,000 - 15,000 Jackson state @ Texas Southern.

[catbob]

Only 17147 for the Bobcat / SFA game. :(

[Big Dawg]

17,871 was on hand at Bragg Stadium to watch FAMU beat Hampton 44-20

This was also the home opener for the Rattlers and was a really great crowd considering that the Marching 100 is suspended this year

[ODU Oldtimer]

ODU 20,000+ (added 250 extra seats for game from bands location) SOLD OUT every game for 4 straight years ODU. Re-started football after 60 year absence….. G0 MONARCHS!

[Squealofthepig]

Only 17147 for the Bobcat / SFA game. :(

This saddens me, too - was this smoke related, or something else? (It was so hazy at Washington-Grizzly that even the far side of the field was a bit obscured at times - hoping we get some rain/snow at elevation soon). Definitely one of the most entertaining Cats games I've watched in a while, grats on a hard-fought win.

[DJKyR0]

4 sat in my basement this afternoon catching a few college games.

[813Jag]

I applaud all fans that sat through that shut out debacle in Baton Rouge. 7,700 brave souls.

[Sycamore51]

7,189 in terre haute to see Drake/ Indiana St. Not awful bad with IU, Purdue, and Illinois all playing at home.

Not only the Northeast........FCS attendance is on a serious downward trend at many (but certainly not all) programs across the country.

On a side note, no one has had to put up with the loss of rivalries and continuity more than fans of programs like Maine, UNH, and URI with the losses of BU, Northeastern, UMass, UConn and Hofstra from their schedules. Think about it...........

Agreed. Harvard-Holy Cross in two weeks will draw 15k+ because it's a night game. Bucknell will probably draw 6k if the weather is good. Harvard's only two non-Yale Ivy home games against Cornell and Columbia will probably attract right around 10-12k, if the weather cooperates. If not, both will be below 10k.

[darell1976]

24,826 people (Qualcom Stadium) saw UND and San Diego State put up 90 points and over 1000 yards of offense.

[MSUBear42]

10,002 true attendance at Missouri State. 14,673 paid.

DAMN rain.

The AD came on the radio Saturday and said that number was wrong it was 14,000
btw it was worse in person

that's much better, i honestly glad i wasn't there

[Sammy94]

Over 44,000 for SHSU/Baylor. Most of them were pretty nervous until the middle of the 4th quarter.

[clenz]

70,585 at the UNI iowa game. UNI averaging playing in front of about 45k per game through 3 weeks

[Go Poly]

ODU 20,000+ (added 250 extra seats for game from bands location) SOLD OUT every game for 4 straight years ODU. Re-started football after 60 year absence….. G0 MONARCHS!

That is impressive....Poly has been playing for ~ 100 years and we can't consistantly sell out 11,075! xsmhx

[melloware13]

18,118 in attendance to see Delaware's defense finally start to come together vs. the Bucknell Bison.

Although that was really aided by the 1000 high school band members for Band Day. At least the student section stayed full past halftime though

[BEAR]

Only 9000 at the UCA v. Bacone College game. Something about rain and the pigs playing the Tide...xlolx

[DFW HOYA]

2,689 at Georgetown for the Yale game.

There are only 2,400 "seats", so consider it oversold.

[LakesBison]

14,286 at D3 St Johns vs St Thomas in Minnesota. hehe

[VUCats02]

10,513 not counting students at Rhode Island vs Nova game

[jmufan]

JMU/WVU game at FedEx at 45,511 with 15,000-20,000 of that being JMU fans. The scanners stop scanning tickets so they had to resort to tearing tickets in half and several people actually made it through the gate without having their ticket scanned or torn. So could have been a little bit more than that.

[Franks Tanks]

8,376 saw Lafayette toast Penn in Easton.

But we had at LEAST 3,000 more fans in attendance. I guess we didn't count students, kids under 12, people over 70 and people born on a Tuesday. What possible reason did Lafayette have to under report attendance? None, but I just decided right now that we had more than the reported attendance in the stadium.

[AppChicago]

Winning produces some spoiled brats, I must say. I stayed till the end and it might have paid off traffic wise.

I've said it before (probably on this board): I never pull for App to lose, but for several years I've been waiting for a game like this that really shakes the trees and separates the real fans from the fairweathers. I watched black and gold go pouring out of the gates in the 4th quarter during a VERY contentious Montana game last week. I'm glad people are coming to the games and having fun and tailgating and all that jazz, but if you can't even stick around to make sure your team wins in a close one, of COURSE you won't stay to see them get stomped. With all the bullishness for an FBS move among portions of the fanbase, a good asswhipping is necessary from time to time. God knows the road ahead wouldn't get any easier if we went anywhere.

[UNHFan]

ODU 20,000+ (added 250 extra seats for game from bands location) SOLD OUT every game for 4 straight years ODU. Re-started football after 60 year absence….. G0 MONARCHS!

Just go easy on us this weekend please!! No running up the score!!

[darell1976]

Does anyone have a link to the attendance averages for 2012? I could only find 2011. I thought maybe there was a site that updates every week.

73% capacity, that's pretty good for that 2 year advertising campaign UND put on. xlolx

[LakesBison]

14,286 St Johns. #2 attended college in tri state area! awesome for collegeville.

Thats weird. It miss quotes Villanova Stadium's attendance by 500 seats. At least it makes our % capacity look a little better.

MSU's attendance seems right, but the capacity seems to be low for us too.

[laxVik]

Anyone see the pic of University of Miami's attendance last week? Still more than PSU.

I've noticed it sometimes takes years for the NCAA staff to update for stadium upgrades; see also James Madison (and this year, Central Connecticut, which has gone from 2,300 to about 5,500)

Must be a Florida thing. Rutgers USF game this week

And the Big East told us playing in a 19,000 seat stadium isn't big enough
