Here’s a recap from last year

Re: Playoff Attendance 1st Round
Here's a rundown of the attendance for Saturday's game ordered by how each home team drew compared to their regular season average (I'm going with what GannonFan said the Delaware attendance is likely to be since they still haven't reported - I'll update it if need be):

Gardner-Webb @ EKU: 4,973 (81.5% of EKU's regular season average of 6,101)
Idaho @ SLU: 3,174 (57.3% of SLU's regular season average of 5,530)
SEMO @ Montana: 13,390 (52.9% of Montana's regular season average of 25,298)
UND @ Weber St: 4,495 (51.0% of Weber St's regular season average of 8,891)
Davidson @ Richmond: 3,000 (41.2% of Richmond's regular season average 7,273)
Elon @ Furman: 2,717 (28.2% of Furman's regular season average of 9,646)
Fordham @ UNH: 2,989 (27.8% of UNH's regular season average of 10,758)
St Francis @ Delaware: 4,629 (27.4% of Delaware's regular season average of 16,902)


The average of 4,921 for the 8 first rounds games isn't that bad considering how tough of a draw it is on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. 2022 ranks 5th in the last 9 years (excluding the spring 2021 playoffs which had attendance restrictions) and the best since 2018 for first round attendance average:

2014: 7,297
2018: 6,373
2015: 5,634
2017: 4,958
2022: 4,921
2013: 4,502
2021: 3,837
2019: 3,598
2016: 3,408
