What were the attendance figures for 2012?

Well, you did play in one more game than everyone else besides FSU. Without that one game AU would be around 4 or 5, depending on the attendance of the championship game.

2012 was still better at AU than attendance at the hog waller in Arky. But do whatever you need to feel better about Coach Bellyma

You realize other conferences have championship games and then play in bowl games as well, right?

How many of the teams on that list played in their conference's championship game? FSU & AU.

So is that stat accounting for people that attend multiple games as different "fans?"

No, they had a person go around at each game and ask every single fricking person in the stadium if this was their first time to attend a game that season.

Well duh, Captain Obvious. Of course AU & FSU played in one more game than everybody else. Isnt that what you want to do??
The story simply said that more people watched AU play this past year than any other team. That is true. Doesn't mean that others didn't average more per game, etc. Means just what it said

Hard to believe that game achieved those numbers since it was probably just Alabama fans left watching by mid-way through the 3rd Quarter.
ETA: And shouldn't that technically read the 2012 BCS Title Game?
