Someone asked about the 2007 attendance totals for UMass home football games. Sounds like an idea for a blog post.
2007 Home Attendance:
- Holy Cross-12,264
- Towson-8,218
- Villanova-16,174
- Northeastern-14,189
- UNH-14,190
2006 Home Attendance:
- Colgate-8191
- Stony Brook-9001
- William & Mary-15,822
- Rhode Island-15,522
- Maine-10,166
- Hofstra-9,211
According to NCAA figures we are 20th out of 126 FCS/I-AA teams in average attendance. That puts us in the top 15% of FCS/I-AA.
However, most of the teams ahead of us are southern/good weather teams. Of bad weather teams we are 5th nationally behind Montana, Yale, Montana State and Illinois State (UNI has a dome).
