This is probably going to our worst attendance year since 2011 by the time its done. Season ticket sales will allow us to fudge the numbers to keep it around 20K, but there's far less than that in the stands on actual gameday.

App. State @ Ga. Southern 19,252

Oh, you're right. Dang old IPhone calculators. Thanx.

If not for the loophole of counting sold seats instead of people, how many FBS programs would fall short of the 15K average?

Certainly the last two years have hurt attendance some for us, but the numbers this year are strangely not consistent with past numbers of similarly sized crowds. The average of 16K is lower than what I've seen at every game this year.
