College teams with Pro cities doing OK
Cincinnati = UC
You do realize that UC lets any HS student, any teacher and any student at ANY college, vo-tech, job corps, trade school, in the metro area in free, and sells season tickets to whoever else for $99, right?
laugh.
Georgia Tech, once a great program, praddles about, averages about 16K empties per game, and is covered in Atlanta media the same way WV Metronews, the Gag-zette, and WOWK cover MU here.
SMU markets to its students and alumni, not the the general DFW populace. Nothing wrong with that, of course, but that is not “doing well”. Stadium holds less the JCE Stadium.
Cal is 376 miles from LA.
UCLA, playing in the historic Rose Bowl, with 45K students who can get in with their IDs, and in the second largest metro area in the country, drew claimed live gates of about 40K/game. Anybody who watched their game with Cal know they are making that up.
USC, see the LA discussion above, is playing to a half full LA Coliseum.
San Diego - San Diego State
SDSU is drawing 25K or so to an abandoned pro stadium. It has 35K students who could get in with an ID, and is in a city with no pro football.
Denver, Colorado and USAF Academy, ,maybe even count Colorado State
The USAFA, is more than an hour from Denver, Colorado State more than that in the opposite direction. Service academy football is a different animal from anything else, of course. CSU draws 20K or so in the MWC.
