There has been only one Big Ten conference game played to date. And we shall forget that for now. That situation changes this weekend as six games will count in the standings. Only Rutgers (bye) and PSU (home to Army) are not in conference match ups.
And what will that mean to attendance?
Four weekends and 41 games have seen 2.6 million people go through the turnstiles at Big Ten stadiums. It includes seven with over 100K in the seats. And nine games where less than 40,000 showed up. More on that later.
Purdue is the only conference team with a losing record, and was the only B1G team to lose last Saturday, Minnesota held Homecoming, as did Rutgers, with the Gophers exceeding capacity by over 3,000.
