That's why I posted a link to the source (NCAA) because I knew someone would mention that.

It's title they way they have it title. If you go to the source, you'll see the title games numbers, I wasn't trying to copying and paste the entire NCAA record book.

Again that's what a link is for. Hopefully this will help those who are a tad bit lazy.

True, but it's a bit confusing the way they have it titled, which is why I posted the correct attendance records for the actual championship game, and not for the average per game for the entire championship series.

Who is they? You started this thread and posted information from deep inside of the document instead of the actual title game attendance figures that were on one of the first pages. Why would the NCAA care if we downloaded their PDF or not?

[chattanoogamocs]

I didn't find it confusing...and I even went ahead and posted the numbers for this year too.
