Regular-season attendance at college football's highest level dipped to 45,274 fans per game in 2012, the lowest average since 2003.
Football Bowl Subdivision crowds declined for the second straight season, according to an analysis by al.com of NCAA attendance figures for 2012 and past years. Five of the six Bowl Championship Series conferences experienced lower averages in 2012.
quote:
Fifty-six percent of the FBS schools reported fewer fans in 2012 than the previous season. Some of those dips were very minor, but others saw huge chunks of fans disappear.
Eight BCS schools experienced attendance declines of 10 percent or greater from 2011: Kentucky (17 percent); Maryland (15 percent); Stanford (13 percent); and Cincinnati, Wake Forest, Pittsburgh, North Carolina and Colorado (10 percent each).
quote:
In 2012, a face-value ticket for an SEC game reached $100 for the first time. Four years ago, the SEC's priciest ticket was the Iron Bowl at $65. This season, 30 SEC games cost at least $65, including nondescript matchups such as Mississippi State-Tennessee, Ole Miss-Vanderbilt, Missouri-Vanderbilt and Missouri-Kentucky.

Sometimes I'd rather just stay at home and watch all the games instead of all the hassle and expense of driving to campus, fighting for parking, getting there super early for a tailgate, then cleaning everything up, and driving a couple hours back home.
If I've got stuff to do, I can get it done, peek in on a few games, sit down for the 2:30 game, and go get a pizza and some beer and catch the primetime games and not have to use a port-a-potty one time all day.
I think the prevalence of all the games on TV is taking a toll on live attendance for meh games and nobody wants to support a meh team with a coach that isn't performing.

anybody else find it amusing that attendance at Arkansas games increased this past season?
my guess is as a result of a 6th fayetteville game to offset the shittle rock games

Well with increasing costs attributed to going to games such as travel, hotel, food as well increases in ticket prices And the state of the economy I wonder why.

not to mention that overall the changes are pretty minor.. and stadium capacity hasn't changed a ton
