Nebraska’s Spring Game Attendance Was Higher Than 15 FBS Teams’ Entire 2017 Season

Nebraska’s Spring Game Attendance Was Higher Than 15 FBS Teams’ Entire 2017 Season

Nebraska set the program record for spring game attendance and was one of only two teams to draw more than 80,000.

The Huskers played their spring game before 86,818 fans on Saturday, the most in the country and about 8,000 more than last year's crowd at Memorial Stadium. Georgia (82,184) was the only other team to hit 80,000.

Nebraska's attendance was 96.5 percent the capacity of the stadium and exceeded the total 2017 attendance for 15 FBS teams. And while it's meaningless to compare the attendance of an exhibition game for one of the highest-drawing programs in college football to regular-season dates for a pile of Group of Five programs, it's still notable how large of a crowd watched Scott Frost's return to Lincoln.

Here's a look at the 15 programs that Nebraska outdrew in the spring game alone:

Team

2017 Attendance

San Jose State 85,235
Buffalo 80,102
Bowling Green 79,405
Georgia State 79,163
Louisiana 78,754
Eastern Michigan 73,649
Charlotte 71,420
Northern Illinois 67,748
Central Michigan 67,520
Kent State 65,924
UMass 64,242
Idaho 63,197
Georgia Southern 61,031
Ball State 59,395
UL-Monroe 49,640
