Here's my guess:

NDSU
Gateway
Big Sky (only because of Montana)
UND
FCS Average
St Johns
USD
Concordia
Average DII

I think without Montana, UND would be well above the average Big Sky attendance. I would think that UND, FCS Average and St Johns are probably pretty close to each other.

Where does NDSU rank in total FCS attendance? Top 5 or Top 10?

[BigDeal]

My guess is...

North Dakota State University
Average Gatetway Conference School
Big Sky (Thank you, Montana)
University of North Dakota
University of South Dakota
St Johns
FCS Average
Concordia
Average DII

That's not much of a "guess" now, is it? :)

It's good to see the Gateway average higher than the BS which didn't want the Bison & Jacks.

Holy crap, if that's the BS average, what happens to the average if you take Montana out of the picture.:hide:

That's the Big Sky's motto: "But we have Montana!"

In 2007 Weber State had 4,092 and Northern Colorado had 4,088.

That's just, well that's just really sad.:banghead:

[NorCalJack]

Wow, NDSU almost had the same attendance as the UxD schools combined.

UND = 9,887
USD = 8,329
Total= 18,216

NDSU = 18,141

I assume the attendance with the UxD's will decrease next year with their great home schedules. You may even double up on UND. That would be hysterical.

Go State!!!
Go Jacks!!!

I would expect attendance to rise for both UxD's next year, judging by history. NDSU's attendance rose by about 25% in their first year, and SDSU's nealry 40% IIRC. SDSU's home schedule, especially was pretty horrid that year too I believe.

Might be wishfull thinking. If SIU was coming to GF, then that might be a definate possibility, as I'm sure that game would be a sellout. If NDSU was nice enough to share some of the attendance figures of the Sioux fans that come to Fargo to watch the SIU game, it might put UND over the top on average attendance. :D Short of that, I have my doubts. In reality NDSU's as well as SDSU's could only go up their first couple years, NDSU's had pretty much bottomed out and with the first year of transition, new coaching staff, etc, attendance was only going to go one direction. Now if the Sioux were to go into SIU and pull off an upset, that should spark some interest. Although sparking interest up there in anything other than hockey seems to be a near impossibility.:confused:
