When the Syracuse Orange men's basketball regular season concluded, we already knew the program had fallen from the top spot in the average attendance rankings. Now, the NCAA has released the official figures, and yup, we're still second to the Kentucky Wildcats.
In 17 home games at the Carrier Dome, Syracuse drew 367,068 fans, for an average of 21,592 per game. Kentucky's average was 23,361 in 17 home games. Louisville was just short of topping rival UK for largest attendance total, as they had two additional home games. But their average fell short of both the Wildcats and SU, at 20,859 per game.
