61 G5 teams last year including the now defunct UAB squad. Here is where the Belt teams ranked in home football attendance:

17. Louisiana 25,775
19 Ark. St. 24,861
22. App. St. 23,166
27. Ga. Southern 21.502
28. Texas St. 20,598
39. ULM 18,108
40. South Al. 17,445
42. Troy 16,767
52. Ga. State 15,006
57. Idaho 12,886
58. NMSU 12,269

The top G5 school was East Carolina at 44,786 and the bottom G5 school was Akron at 9,170.

Average by conference:
1. AAC 29,447
2. MWC 24,845
3. CUSA 19,787 (the 13 teams minus UAB)
4. Sun Belt 18,943
5. MAC 14,984

Troy and USA doesn't make sense to me.

Our attendance was one of the worst I've ever seen. 2015 should be much better. We normally average around the 20k mark

Idaho and NMSU bring our average down a good bit. I fully expect that Troy's attendance will go up this year. We finished about 800 a game on average behind CUSA. I could see us overtaking them this year as well.

According to those numbers shouldn't Troy and USA switch places?

Top and bottom for each G5 conference:

AAC:
1. East Carolina 44,787
34. Tulsa 19,647

MWC:
3. Fresno 34,876
50. San Jose St. 15,068

CUSA:
9. UTEP 28,377
59. FIU 11,966

Sun Belt:
17. Louisiana 25,775
58. NMSU 12,269

MAC:
29. Ohio 20,515
61. Akron 9,170

Mistyped Troy's. It was 16,767 instead of 17,767. I corrected it.

I've never seen our numbers so low.

With the excitement of new coaches and Season ticket sales up, I expect our numbers to be back around 20k... With good weather our game with USA should be around 25k

Anyone believe Ga State had 15K a game?

I believe they had 15,000 for our game. No other.

I would think it would be below Akron's attendance. No way they averaged more than 8-9k a game.

we are really beating a dead horse again. We all know the difference between actual and announced. No need to hash up this debate in this thread. Let's keep this on track.

Well, our actual attendance is out there, too, if anyone wants to search it up. I've never understood why we report that, too, since it's really only good for those who want to insult us, but have at it.

uab had a team so I think their numbers should be included. would probably put us ahead of cusa in total average.
