Factors for WVB attendance?
In finding the links (when time allowed) for the completed PTW games, I got slightly curious looking at the attendance numbers, which for the 1st 22 games ranged from 8772 to, zero! Was zero real? Anyway, why the differential?
- Student size of host college?
- Student size of visiting college?
- WVB culture of host college?
- WVB culture of visiting college?
- Visiting college's travel tendency?
- Current rank of host college?
- Current rank of visiting team?
- Capacity of venue?
- Starting time?
- Freebie giveaways?
- Who are the referees? (JK)
Thoughts?
Attendance (PM PT unless otherwise denoted)
4081 1.Georgia Tech v. Florida 4
524 2.Pepperdine v. Stanford 6
3633 3.Southern Cal v. Pittsburgh 6
4719 4.Texas v. Houston 6
200 5.(N)Arizona State v. Wichita State 4

891 15.SMU v. Kentucky 5
1827 16.TCU v. UCLA 5

If 25.Stanford v. Texas is played in Austin, would the attendance be meaningfully different?

Man, stupid of me to have confidence in Western Kentucky. Otherwise I would have had 23/25. But my tiebreaker was horrible, so it wouldn't have mattered. Congrats to redbirdfan101 !! |

If 25.Stanford v. Texas is played in Austin, would the attendance be meaningfully different? Were any of the 0 matches part of a session where there was a match earlier or after that match? If so, that's why it is a 0. The other match that is part of that session will have a number, or should have a number for attendance. |

The Tennessee vs Western Michigan box score is wild...3 sets went extra points. Tennessee was a 94% PTW favorite, and pulled it off 24-26, 25-20, 29-27, 33-31
I'm not sure I'm picking Tennessee anymore.
