Total attendance, all sports...who you got?

Just ballparking, since I am too lazy to look things up.
1. LSU
2. Tennessee
3. Arkansas
4. Alabama
5. Texas A&M
I'm going to say the top attendance overall, across all sports, can be reasonably assumed to be from either LSU, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Alabama, or Arkansas.
This is due to capacity across all facilities, and fan interest.
Out of that group, Arkansas has the smallest football stadium, Tennessee the smallest baseball stadium, and LSU the smallest basketball arena. The attendance from each school would be the smallest in each respective sport irregardless of fan interest.
With that in mind, I'm gonna say LSU has the highest overall attendance across all sports. Primarily because of baseball attendance being so much higher than anyone in the conference, or in the country for that matter.
LSU baseball has a higher total attendance than any basketball program in the conference save Kentucky. Which makes up for how low LSU is in basketball attendance. Especially since LSU basketball attendance would be higher than most, if not all school's baseball attendance.
LSU's attendance is routinely #3 in SEC football, #1 in baseball, #2 in gymnastics, and in the top four in softball.
In second place, would probably be Tennessee, followed closely by Arkansas. Texas A&M and Alabama would fight it out for fourth.
That's just ballparking it. I freely acknowledge that some schools do very well attendance wise in certain sports, like UGA for tennis, Texas A&M for soccer, Arkansas for track, Tennessee and UK for women's basketball.
I don't really think that any other non-revenue sport attendance is enough at any school to make enough of a difference in the rankings.
Just my two cents, and my contribution to the offseason.

And thanks again for yet another bump!

If there ever was a +1, you have it. Geaux LSU! In all things that don't matter. I'll take it.

Corn dogs playing for a Natty in baseball and this fool wants to bring up attendance smack.

I would add Florida to the mix as well.
Just a couple of years ago Arkansas landed in the 1 million club of attendees each for baseball, basketball, and football in the same academic year. The only university that year to pull that feat off. Which is amazing considering that we are only 33rd in terms of total population.

And you just had to post in a thread...that you don't care about. And you fail to see the irony there.

I don't think UF's attendance is high enough in any sport to merit inclusion into the group I mentioned.
When Arkansas finishes the expansion to RRS, the Hogs will have bigger facilities in every sport than UF.
Which is amazing.

That is weird, they have solid attendance for football there and are solid in just about every sport under the sun. You would think they would splash the cash and upgrade the facilities.

No space to build/expand. The swamp is almost smack dab in the middle of campus, the golf course in on campus, and UF tends to build small when it comes to class rooms.
So a lot of little building crammed onto a campus with a large swamp and a golf course taking up too much space.
