Utah is still 3rd in attendance in the pac…wow.

Was going to post the same thing. That is pathetic.

All that smack about WCC small gyms ... they're getting as many fans as P12

I've noticed that some PAC 12 games in Cal have no fans due to COVID policies.

The PAC 12 is self destructing. I won't make political comments here.

7500 this year? I mean, come on. That would mean an absolute packed lower bowl

LiveCoug

probably closer to 750

Yeah, that might be closer to the total through 11 games.

Seems inflated from the photos shown on SM.

It's tickets distributed... They probably give away tickets all over, and then people still don't come.

I do wonder what the butts in seats number actually is

LiveCoug

They say that for Wash St., it was 5,943 attended out of 11,358 tix sold. 50%ish

Maybe it's cumulative?

Just like they "sell out" every football game.

someone should do a FOIA request and see how many people are actually there.

Glad to see BYU averaging home attendance this year 15070.

DJROSS

wait the band doesn't attend?

Avery

1/27/22 11:30am

A full band would boost attendance significantly.

1/27/22 11:33am

In summary: Utah sucks and their fans suck and they rely on BYU games to boost

Locker rooms for the e-gaming teams. That'll do it.

Love how Drew describes the Utes as a "young team". Most of the team are

They are young juniors and seniors, not the old kind.

Cougar TD

Don't blame the fan base - They can't be expected to support both football and basketball.

They kept coming back to that, but it really should have no bearing since they

BYU average attendance is > than bottom 6-7 P12 combined? Are we sure theyre P6?

The WCC has better attendance than the PAC12 haha

Cosmo4life

1/27/22 12:07pm

Pac 12, the conference where no one shows up, no one watches, and no one cares.

If they admit they do this inflation with BB, why would we believe they don't do

There is no way Utah Fans think they have an actual full capacity RES stadium

Zoobieman

The sellout thing even in FB has been a joke for years.

You’d think most of the few thousand fans would have been at the BYU USC game

On the plus side, people can safely socially distance from each other at Utah basketball games
