Aggie Ascent - Facilities Master Plan Release This is why an aggie stadium maxed at say 18k-20k would just make more sense. Focus on innovative bar seating and suites rather than thousands of extra bleacher seats beyond whats needed. I was surprised how many more people attend MW games on average compared to Big Sky games. Even in our current stadium at the FCS level we averaged 12,991 (basically 13k) per game last season which is comparable to some of the bottom of the HW.
Here at the averages for Big Sky schools last year for comparison (which outside of the top SHOCKED me):
University of Montana ~26,464 fans per game
Montana State University ~21,877 fans per game
Sac State ~15,468
UC Davis ~12,991 fans per game
University of Idaho ~9,970 fans per game
Northern Arizona University ~8,990 fans per game
Idaho State University ~7,550 fans per game
Eastern Washington University ~5,450 fans per game
Weber State University ~4,070 fans per game
Portland State University ~3,580 fans per game
University of Northern Colorado ~3,820 fans per game
