Football attendance with surprises

[jjlouv]

-HEy C-EX maybe you can help me on this ---What were the factors that DEcreased our not having the crowds we expected??? I realize that the early losses were a problem, but was the weather ok??

Box score shows 70s and either clear or partly cloudy for those games, Boomer. LTU was 80(ish) and partly cloudy also.

I'm a little skeptical of UTSA's numbers. I'd have to see some crowd shots. Unless the games they played against the Texas schools and Arizona last year offset what I could only guess were poorly attended games against New Mexico, FIU, and USM.

EDIT: Also they were 4-8, even more skeptical.

There's literally nothing else in town for people to go see, besides the Spurs. UTSA has always been a huge draw in San Antonio

Southern rain all day and almost all game without a doubt. LaTech can't remember.

Cajun Field capacity is 36,900. Based on last year's average, we averaged 70% capacity.

75% is an increase of 1900 fans which would put at 12th.
80% is an increase of 3745 fans which would put at 8th.
100% puts the attendance at 3rd.

Googled some crowd shots. Some of them look like they have decent numbers in the stands.

A bit off topic, I was wondering why UTEP, UTSA, and UTA all had orange as one of their school colors. Thought it was some coincidence, but then I realized the UT system connection.

Interesting..also UT-Tyler, UT - Brownsville, UT-Dallas, UT-Pan AM all have orange as a color. Looks like they all adobted the color from UT-Austin when they started their programs.

Look at the two main schools in the California System. Both bears as mascots and blue and gold colors. I wonder if the other schools have gold or blue colors.

Cal - Berkeley - Bears - Blue (dark) and Gold
Cal - Los Angeles - Bruins - Blue (light) and Gold

What does really surprise me is Northern Ill.'s avg. attendance at 13.5k!

NIU average attendance would be much lower if they did not control the Chicago market.
