attendance was DOWN last year....

Simply replacing Gardner-Webb and Duke on the home slate will raise attendance. I'm curious as to the attendance per game. How far did Gardner Webb pull us down?
UGA, VT and maybe UNC will be sellouts IMO. Clemson is almost a lock to sell out. The Clemson fans think Dabo is the man, and we'll be a top 15 team when we face them.

If we aren't, that means we lost to Jax State. We will start preseason top 15, and play Clem's son next. It's also the Thursday nighter, so ESPN won't let us down with the hype machine.

That almost shows me that we play better traveling teams on the odd years. Other then BC, all the schools with the 50K+ travel well. Well, I'll admit, I don't know about Army. But Clem, VT and those awful mutts all come out of the woodwork for games. I'll chalk the BC attendance up to the hype surrounding that game. We were a top 15 team, expected to start cruising through the ACC, and we flopped.

I'm sure that attendance will once again be up this year. Does anyone have 2006's numbers?

Wow, that very nearly shot my theory to ****. I guess I can explain away the ND game, and the UVA was that glorious Thursday night throwback game, but the Terps getting 50K+ surprises me. Maybe there is a residual lethargy in place from Gailey's last season...

We were leading the ACC Coastal in 2006. You would expect the attendance to climb each game. If we make another run at the coastal title AND lead the division the whole time, our attendence will improve again.

That was what I meant by us having bigger problems at that point than attendance.

On the flipside, this years attendance should be way up. We've got Clemson, VT and Ugag at home as well as coming off a 9 - 4 season.

The question will be how much of an increase in season ticket sales?

Exactly! season ticket sales are a better measure of the attendance, if you're looking at the impact of CPJ's hiring on tickets. Overall attendance is skewed by the crappy teams that we played at home.
