[CHIP72]

A very poor total of 4,445 fans attended Penn's 30-10 home win over Lehigh.

[Go Green]

7,145 in Worcester to watch Dartmouth manhandle Holy Cross. Just a hair below the previous week's crowd to see HC beat Yale.

[Son of Eli]

12,801 in Ithaca to witness Yale spoil Cornell’s homecoming weekend.

Penn has been really challenged in attendance the past few years. Dartmouth has been outdrawing them in a rural area, a stadium one-fifth the size, and with a much smaller student body. This despite Penn fielding some championship teams. Not sure what the problem is.

I'm gonna go with the scheduled opposition. Not so long ago, Lehigh would travel to Philly in droves that would outnumber the Penn fans. Now, Lehigh and Bucknell have fallen on hard times and can't even get those numbers to home games. Add in teams like Ohio Dominican, and you can see a reason for drop off even with the home fans.

[SFA 93]

6,281 on a wet rainy Saturday for SFA vs. ACU

[Iridebikes]

9,100+Cheney to watch EWU and Cal Poly. Nice day except for 20+ mph winds.

[Seawolf97]

Stonybrook had 6272 on a cool night .

[POD Knows]

18,883 for NDSU homecoming(sellout).We had a bunch of empty seats in section 6, yea, it was sold out but I bet there wasn't 17,000 there and droves of people left after the first quarter, why the hell would you even come to the game to stay for one quarter. We are starting to have a late arriving crowd as well. Kind of waiting to see how jacked up the crowd will be next weekend, these snoozer games are taking their toll on the casual fan.

[jsualumnus]

JSU had 17,403 for the TTU game.

[rtzlunar]

Chattanooga (vs. Samford) - Attendance: 10,469[

People of Chattanooga too ignorant to watch a good game in town since kickoff conflicted with the S.H.I.T.E. show UTk put on in Knoxville against the Gators to determine last place in SEC East

I agree completly. I get so frustrated that even when we were a top 10 ten team and had a big game, we couldn't seem to get much more than 10K. I think we should get 15K for a big game.

Great place to watch a ball game.

That tends to happen with teams that continue to manhandle their competition. Georgia Southern and Marshall comes to mind.

They’ll draw fewer than 8,000 for the Harvard game in two weeks.

Penn hasn’t drawn well for Ivy games either. When you come right down to it, it’s a basketball school.

I agree. My point was that the more recent decline in avg attendance has a lot to do with visiting teams not bringing the fans that visiting teams of old did.

I've given more than a couple UT fans hell about this, claiming football season was over in TN cause UT sucked. Meanwhile, Huesman and co. where top 10 and in the playoffs. I told them to ride down and watch ya'll. Only for them to reply, yea...but that's D2. I've actually had one guy ask if they were in the same conference as Maryville College. Morons...the longer I live here, the more I dislike UT and it's fan base. Good people, just not on Saturdays.

I ask this question every week when about 4000 students exit the stadium at halftime during jmu games. You can watch droves of kids show up half way through first and be leave before third. Beats me why that makes any sense to do.

Yes, I remember back in 2002, Lehigh and Penn had a barn-burner of a game that snapped Lehigh's regular season unbeaten streak. Both lower decks on either side of Franklin Field were full, attendance near 20,000. Those days are long gone.

Yup, and that crowd was more than 2/3 Lehigh fans. I even remember the Penn QB complaining to the ref that the fans were too loud and he could call the play at the line. Of course, I was in that crowd, along with frequent road trips to games at Princeton, Delaware, numerous home games etc. Now I probably won't even make the 15 min trip in to see them when LU plays at Georgetown.

I remember a crowd of 36,000 for a Harvard-Penn game back in the 80s. Tailgating and parking always sucked near Franklin Field.
