"This past season took a nose dive from 2016’s numbers. In Bob Stitt’s second season at the helm, Montana averaged 25,367 in announced attendance — an average of 1,715 more than 2017." "Truthfully, that certainly played into the decision to make a head coaching change."
"By season’s end, Montana announced that 141,913 tickets were sold for an average of 23,652 per game. Even though Montana still led the FCS in average attendance, that’s the school's lowest average since 2007."
"No game in 2017 had more than 21,000 people in the stands and only twice were there more than 18,000 people in attendance. That hasn't happened since at least 2012." The tickets scanned numbers for 2017 were shockingly down and low, compared to even 2016.
"One reason Haslam feels good about the renewal rate is based on how many new season ticket holders have come into the fold since Hauck was announced as the next coach."
Very good and interesting article. The article probably should have mentioned that there was a stadium expansion prior to the 2008 season.
