Rutgers & Big Ten Attendance: what’s the big deal?

Related Topics: Attendance

I’ve been doing these attendance posts for a few years. I don’t know about you, but I hate to see empty seats at Rutgers home games. Sadly, there are more than a few there.

Last week, the season opened and Rutgers announced a crowd of 46,093. And we pretty much all know that Rutgers - like a lot of schools - announces tickets sold/distributed and not necessarily butts in the seats. It is what it is.

But there were a few comments about this, some more critical than others and one that questioned my “methodology” of using percent of capacity as a measure.
