Jackson State once again is the FCS leader in average home attendance, drawing 30,000 fans. This is a dip from the 42,000 average attendance in 2022, but JSU’s streak at No. 1 continues.
Other familiar names are at the top. Montana and Montana State own the No. 2 and 3 spots as they did last year.
A big riser is Tarleton State as it continues its transition from D2. Tarleton went from No. 16 last year to No. 4 this fall. SDSU rose from No. 10 to No. 5.
Here are the average home attendance figures for all FCS teams.
Figures are via the NCAA and through 11/18 games. They do not include FCS playoff games.
