A decent percentage in the rise is the SMU game, which -sadly-  is likely to be a one-off.

That said, I do think the AAC opponents draw maybe a bit better than the old C-USA did. I know there is overlap etc, but people might know a bit better who Memphis is than who MTSU is, who USF is rather than FIU (even though FIU is the bigger university) etc.

But then you also have to factor in the small turnouts resulting from FOUR home games over Winter Break + another on the Saturday of Thanksgiving Break vs. a D-I team. I definitely think "the average Pit crowd" increased in size this year. Last year, there were hardly any people that sat behind the far baseline by the UNT bench. Now it seems Sections 123-124 get decently filled. SMU's big crowd may have been a one-off this year, but since Grant's CBI run and outside of Covid, we seem to have had at least one of those nice 6000+ crowds each year.

Don't we usually have 3-5 home games over winter break though?

My cubicle's not hidden enough to take the time to look at the past 5-10 years, but last year we only had three. Also, we didn't have a home game over Thanksgiving break either, since we were in the Bahamas.
