The attendance average slipped 15% from a single-year high of 46,971 in 2008. The NCAA has been tracking FBS attendance since 1976, two years before then-Division I-AA (Football Championship Subdivision) was created, per Dodd.

But there is some good news in the B1G. Per Dodd, the B1G was the only conference to see an attendance gain in 2021. From the report:

In 2021, only the Big Ten experienced attendance gain among the Power Five conferences. Michigan led the country in attendance for the fifth year in a row and for the 21st time in the last 22 seasons.

The B1G also had the second-highest average among FBS conference, coming in with 65,252 fans per game. The SEC was atop the attendance leaderboard in 2021, posting an average of 72,195.
