B1G dominates college football attendance for 2019 season
Published:
When it comes to attendance at college football games, there may not be a better conference than the B1G — at least at the top.
According to recent figures posted from 247Sports, Michigan, Penn State and Ohio State led the nation in average attendance for the 2019 college football season — all ranking in the top three spots. Nebraska also cracked the top 10, coming in at No. 9.
This isn’t anything new. With those four schools owning some of the largest stadiums in the country, mixed with passionate football fanbases, those programs are almost always inside the top 10 in attendance, if not the top five. It just goes to show how enthusiastic B1G fans are about their football teams.
Here’s where those four B1G teams ranked, along with the average attendance:
- No. 1: Michigan – 111,459
- No. 2: Penn State – 105,678
- No. 3: Ohio State – 103,382
- No. 9: Nebraska – 89,348
