Re: Attendance at Regionals
From Alex Faust:
Northeast Regional: 8,049 (+5.8% over '11, last time Manchester hosted, +35.8% over Worcester in '12), largest crowd NE reg crowd since 2007
West Regional: 2,289 was down 33.9% vs. '12 in Green Bay and down 43.5% vs. last time Grand Rapids hosted in 2009.
In fact, yesterday's attendance figure in Grand Rapids was the smallest on record for an NCAA regional since the 16-team format began.
Last year's west regional (Green Bay) averaged 3,287 fans over 3 games, which was also an all-time low.
