Attendance at NCAA football games was down slightly in 2009 compared with the record 2008 season.The NCAA reported Monday that almost 48.3 million fans attended games at the 630 NCAA schools, including home, neutral-site and postseason games. That's down about 1 percent from the 48.8 million in 2008.NCAA associate director of statistics Gary K. Johnson said crowds were bound to level off after years of increases. He said the economic downturn could have been a factor. Average attendance at Football Bowl Subdivision games was 46,281. Michigan led the nation with an average crowd of 108,933. Penn State, Ohio State and Texas also averaged better than 100,000 a game. As they have the biggest stadiums in the nation, it makes sense that three Big Ten schools Michigan (108,933), Penn State (107,008) and Ohio State (105,261) led the country in average attendance. The only other school to average over 100K was Texas at 101,175.
The Southeastern Conference for the 12th straight season, led all conferences in average attendance at 76,288 a game, with five of their schools holding spots in the Top Ten. The SEC Rocks!
