Contrary to the beliefs of the fans of a select few schools basketball is more popular. The numbers don't lie.
Per the latest attendance figures, which can be found on the NCAA website, and stadium capacity...
Six teams have higher averages for baseball and eight for basketball as far as capacity goes, and that's the most important stat.
Below are the latest stats that I could find for both sports, with season attendance, game attendance average, and percentage of capacity with the bolded teams have a higher capacity on average in that particular sport.
Basketball:
Kentucky 426,978 23,721 (23,500 100%)
Tennessee 314,321 16,543 (21,678 76%)
Vanderbilt 246,561 13,698 (14,316 96%)
Arkansas 275,020 13,096 (19,368 68%)
Alabama 199,749 12,484 (15,383 81%)

Texas A&M 132,900 7,383 (12,989 57%)
Georgia 120,350 7,079 (10,523 67%)
Auburn 110,534 6,502 (9,121 71%)

9. Alabama 112,210 4,156 (6,571 63%)
Texas A&M 131,089 3,641 (5,400 67%)

Tennessee 52,383 1,690 (3,712 45%)
Mizzou didn't show up in NCAA baseball attendance.
ETA: Bold the word CAPACITY for the mental midgets.

No point in reading the thread for proof of a statement so obvious

Some would have you believe differently.

I guess you have to find a way to deflect the fact Kentucky sucked a big dick in baseball this year.
Posted on 6/3/13 at 4:32 pm to CatFan81
I want to know specifically who actually thinks baseball is more popular
Posted on 6/3/13 at 4:33 pm to CatFan81
Says the Kentucky fan. What a coincidence

No. I just keep seeing people who are adamant that baseball is more popular, so I thought I'd run the numbers.

As LSU/MSU/Arkansas fans (only on Tiger Droppings of course) would imply, baseball is just as big as football... and my cock is the size of an 18-wheeler.

Basketball sucks.

Hope you're really into cheerleading then cause that's the other activity that makes up UK's Big 2 sports

Shut up, Jones. I don't even like basketball much. I'm a football fan.
