More about spring football than you cared to know ...

In Bob Condotta's blog today (he's the University of Washington football reporter for the Seattle Times), he lists information on spring football game attendance from around the country (these numbers were compiled by Colorado sports information director Dave Plati, so, folks, you're getting this information third hand).

Fresno State's attendance was 2,600 for the free-of-charge April 19 scrimmage. By comparison:

  • Nebraska's, where they charge $4-$10, was 80,149
  • Alabama's was 78,200
  • Ohio State's, where they charge $5, was 76,346.

In the Western Athletic Conference, Boise State's, where they charge $7, was 7,500; Hawaii's was 9,300; Idaho's was 5,100; and Louisiana Tech's was 5,103.

From the surprisingly low: Virginia 5,000, Wake Forest 4,100, Syracuse 3,428, Stanford 2,000 and Washington State 900.

The national average was 14,331 and the median was 8,000.

So, there you have it. Five minutes that you'll never get back.
