We are averaging 3048 home attendance, which is third in the Belt. The average for the conference is not available now that they stupidly went away from a pdf format to interactive (which does not print off easily).

The two conferences ranked just ahead of us in RealtimeRPI are the MAAC and the Colonial, so they should be pretty good benchmarks for us.

The MAAC averages 2032 overall, which is skewed by Siena's 6427. The next best of their eleven teams is Manhattan's 1956.

The Colonial averages 2459, with three of their nine teams ahead of us.

So, out of 30 teams in the three conferences, we are 7th in attendance.

Like both of us have pointed out, attendance sucks at most midmajors outside of the upper Midwest- The MoValley has teams in States that love basketball and thus have very good attendance. Outside of North Carolina and Kentucky, basketball is an afterthought in the South.
