A few weeks ago I penciled in 4,200 for this game...was just going with a simple round number. Turned out I was only off by 1 as 4,199 attended the season finale at the Super Pit. Those that attended were treated to Atin Wright's 42 point performance which is the best this year in the AAC and just 1 shy of the all-time AAC single game scoring record. As we know, we had one more home game this season compared to last season. In total, 55,531 came out this season to watch the men rack up a 15-1 home court record. At 4,199, the final game was the second-highest attended game this year only behind the 5,032 that came out for UTSA (I guess we really don't like those guys). We had 5 games (almost a third) with attendance in excess of 4K and 1 in excess of 5K. In comparison, last season we had 7 games in excess of 4K with three of those over 5K.
In terms of averages, we had 3,471 attend per game which was down 661 or 16.01% per game. Was hoping for some YoY growth given the momentum this program has been building, but without that big draw game and a missing-in-action marketing and promotional effort during our traditional slow period, it wasn't meant to be. I'll have a season wrap-up post with some additional thoughts in a few days.
