Last year, we played Bakersfield on December 29, and drew 4,393; this year, we once again played them on December 29, and drew 5,534.
Through 8 home games this year, we're averaging 5,446, with a low of 4,202 against Pacific, and no big name draw. Last year, through 8 games, we averaged 5,189, but that included one big draw (Duke - 7,060) and 1 conference game. Two years ago the average was 4,664 through 8, and that included one big draw (Notre Dame) and 2 conference games.
Going forward, the 9 conference home games should certainly average 6,500, since Stanford and Oregon should be sellouts, which would put the season right at 6,000. If we survive the January gauntlet and are contending for a conference title, those numbers could well be significantly higher.

Should be sell outs for every game. No excuses not to have 9,000 plus here on out.

Should be sell outs for every game. No excuses not to have 9,000 plus here on out. LOL. If we average >7K for the home conference schedule that will be amazing. Let's crunch some numbers on that. There are 9 home conference games, so 7,000 per would be 63,000 total. A sellout is 9,300, so the Stanford and Oregon games should bring in 18,600. that leaves 44,400 for the other 7 games, or 6,343 per game. If we can get 5,534 for Bakersfield, I'll guess 5,800 each for Utah and Colorado next weekend. That brings it down to 32,800 for 5 games, or 6,560 per game. Now it gets interesting, as we go to Arizona. If we win both those games (which I think we will), we'll be 16-0 overall, 4-0 in conference, and the hype is going to really start building going into Stanford weekend. Tickets will be gone for Stanford and Oregon after that, so ticket sales for Cal are going to heat up. I'll guess about 6,900 for that one, so 25,900 for 4 games, or 6,475 per. Assuming we beat Cal (we should), we're 5-0 in conference. If we can hold serve at home against Stanford and Oregon (a tall order for sure), we would be 7-1 in conference. Either Stanford or Oregon would have 2 losses in conference, and we would, for the moment anyway, look like we were in the driver's seat for the conference championship. We go on the road to Colorado and Utah, and come home 9-1 in conference to face Arizona State and Arizona. Those games should draw 7,500 each, so we only need 10,900 total for the final 2 games against the Washington schools. That's 5,400 each, or 134 less than we just drew for Bakersfield. So, yeah, we can average 7,000 in conference. I recognize that my script above is pure fantasy, and it probably won't play out that way (although it is far from implausible). But there's been hype for 2 months about how crazy good the PAC 12 is, and the conference certainly acquitted itself well in the early going. Now conference play is finally here, and there's going to be a ton of interest in it in most places that aren't within 15 miles of USC. Attendance is going to be strong in general, and in particular here in Corvallis. |

Is there a difference between a sell out and capacity? You might have to re-crunch your numbers. |

Yes. A sell-out means all tickets have been sold - that's a business thing. Capacity means all the seats are filled - that's a fire marshal thing. Gill sells GA tickets, and they can keep selling tickets right up until they see the fire marshal driving up, so for the most part they are the same thing. But then you have events like the middle-school-scream-a-thon game - a capacity crowd, but not a sellout. Conversely, NBA games in the Rose Garden are often sellouts but are rarely at capacity.

The game against Oregon last year was sold out, and attendance was listed as 9,301. That's the same number given for Southern Utah (all the screaming kids) this year. I just rounded it to 9,300. But hey, if they somehow get 9,604 for Stanford and Oregon, so much the better. |

They really got pumped up in Los Angeles (county population - 10.16 million in 2017) for the beginning of conference play! Undefeated UCLA, off to the best start in school history, faced perennial contender Arizona State, and jammed 1,582 into the arena. Where did they find seats for all of them?
Across town, USC, with its 4 top 65 recruits, was hosting undefeated Arizona, which boasts the longest sctive win streak in the nation. The Fire Marshall had some serious concerns about Friday night at the Glenn Center, but, at the last minute, decided to go out to dinner with his wife. Good call. The fan base stayed away in the thousands, with but 509 passing through the turnstiles.
Here at home, I had speculated we might average 5,800 this weekend. Last night was 5,629 (seemed like more), so I still could be pretty close. The population of Corvallis is right at 0.5% of Los Angeles, and we drew 2 1/2 times as many as both their schools combined.

You do realize there’s a lot less interest in Women’s BB than in Men’s right? Look at a typical WNBA game. Also, there’s a little bit more to do on a Friday night in LA than in Corvallis. |

The population of Corvallis is right at 0.5% of Los Angeles, and we drew 2 1/2 times as many as both their schools combined. If I were ever to accuse us of under counting attendance, last night's game would be the one. The (south) side of Gill behind the benches was full pretty far up the stands, and the other (north) side was relatively full as well. The games right after finals and before Christmas I was worried our 4000+ streak was in jeopardy, and based on the crowd announced for that game, I (and the fan that sits next to me) were speculating last night's attendance at 6000 - 6500. Oh, well, a first world problem, I guess, and apparently more acute of a problem in the greater Los Angeles area. Go Beavers! |
