2008-2013 year-by-year attendance average

2008-2013 year-by-year overall attendance

2008-2013 year-by-year attendance average increase

2007 to 2008 is actually a decrease in attendance average. but every year since has had an increase for example from 2008 to 2009 WSU saw an attendance average increase of 1,022 fans; then 2010 saw 710 more fans per game than 2009.

from what i can gather from these charts is that weber state basketball attendance has peaked. it has varied somewhat based on the different number of games per season such as 2013 having a big sky record 19 home games but 2011 only had 13 home games.

we shall see what 2013-14 brings us! you never know...

The trend is upward. I like the way this is going. The D E C is a force to be reckoned with when it's packed.
Let's keep the win streak alive and we could see some nice crowds this year. GOOOOO Wildcats!! :bananahump:

 

[WILDCAT]

This team deserves so much more :|

 

[weberwildcat]

2013 is pretty impressive.

 

[weberwildcat]

if we end up hosting i see our average surpassing 7,000 for the season. if we do not host, i see it finishing with 6,700.

This heading should be renamed to something other than "Attendance," since that does not seem to be what's being reported-- ticket sales/giveaways, maybe. The listed attendance for the Montana game is just not accurate and for Idaho State, just laughable. There was nowhere near 8,700 butts in seats at the ISU game, unless 1,500 people were continually in the bathroom.

It's so sad that a student body of nearly 30,000-- albeit non-traditional-- has a regular showing of about five times less than that of the Weber High student body for the 5A State Playoffs. Weber High students had to pay to get in, Weber State students do not-- just sad.

Montana crowd looked pretty damn accurate to me. Look around the country, & go to some games out of State and you'll be grateful for the support Weber gets, especially considering the type of competition we face.

 

[oldrunner]

I believe that the ISU figures were accurate. It's a little deceiving when you see some empty seats in the high rent district, but a lot of people seated in the upper bowl. The upper bowl seats a lot more people than the lower area. There were many, many people way up in the rafters. More than I had seen up there in a long time. Everything seemed to fill in as the game went on. Some of that was people moving down, but some of it was late arriving fans. Some had to park a long way off and were late arriving. :thumb:

 

[weberwildcat]

even if you thought the montana figures are incorrect, keep in mind that would still be 4,500 empty seats. that is a lot of empty seats even with that big crowd.

 

[weberwildcat]

another great season of attendance on the books.

The gradual yearly increase is very encouraging. :thumb:

 

[weberwildcat]

5 straight seasons seeing attendance moving upward. is it really possible to keep this going a 6th year? i didn't think it could happen a 5th yr.

If the team keeps winning and the school does everything they can to promote the team than Yes

i agree. it would be cool if this season has an impact on next yr's attendance and/or season tkt holder number. if our base goes up that helps big time. if season tkts went up and we were to host i think averge attendance can continue upward another season.

i need to go find our 2008 numbers and add them, they were much lower than 2009.
