[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 129956950, member: 1112294"] 2016 Home attendance at all major college football games declined for the sixth consecutive year, though once again at a smaller rate compared to some past seasons. This year's average crowd was again the lowest since 2000 (42,631). Crowd sizes were down 7 percent since peaking in 2008 (46,565). As always, the data for this year's analysis counts only home games and not neutral-site venues.
