I can see it. We averaged about 50K per football game in a 60K stadium

Boy Auburn fans did not handle the Freeze hiring well.

Seriously, I have no idea how they came up with this data but I don’t put much stock in it.
Probably need to wait til Freeze coaches his first year there before seeing what kind of effect he has on attendance.

I refuse to be part of a click bait problem, but if it’s attendance based, tv has killed attendance, as everyone knows

Our stadium holds 62K to 63K. This will be the first season in a very long time we played 8 games. We have played seven games at home goin way back. 7 X 63K=441K. Where do they get the 516K to begin with?

" people who claimed each team as their favorite college team among people who watched or attended college football games"
My guess is "watched" meant TV audiences also but not sure of that.

With our schedule That can't be correct either. I think he pulled those numbers out his *** because he did not like the teams on there.

Might want to recheck our stadium capacity. Ahh, what the heck, I'll do it for ya'. From the annals of Hailstate .com. Direct Quote......."2022-The Balconies at Davis Wade are constructed prior to the start of the season, bringing official capacity to 60,311."

So there you have it. We reduced capacity down to about 60K to make room for the Balconies. And FWIW, I hope we reduce it down further to about 50-55K, to allow for the installation of full chairback seating in the lower bowl. Which we had plans for when Cohen was here. Selmon, I'm sure, is being brought up to date on this and other projects forthcoming.

I was guessing on capacity. But it was to make a point and you made it better that his starting numbers are bogus. Now to your point the Auburn game of 2014 we had 62,941 in attendance. I am guessing seating compacity and total compacity are different.

To further cast doubt on the legitimacy of the data, download the entire dataset and see who is #1 in terms of crowds in the county.

KU has fewer fans than USM but that list had them over 1M in 2021. You don’t have to be right; you just have to say it first.
