TROY, Alabama – There was a lot to celebrate on the field during the 2016 Troy football season, but those who packed the stands at The Vet should also be celebrated after setting records and helping Troy rank among the nation's best in improved attendance.
On the field, the Trojans posted the best turnaround in the country, an Associated Press Top 25 ranking, the first 10-win season in the school's FBS history and a Dollar General Bowl title. Troy fans responded by setting a Veterans Memorial Stadium record for total attendance (135,203) and single-game average attendance (22,534).
