in terms of average attendance from 2016-2018 (which were all bad seasons to begin with) vs. 2022-23. So you can make all the arguments about attendance being down nationally, but that doesn't paint the whole picture.
Attendance surged in the Hundley era, started to soften in the Rosen era, and totally crashed under Chip. In 2022 we had a game where we drew 27,000. And that was Chip's best team.
I predict UCLA will have a decent attendance year in 2025, with Nico providing a boost, a solid ooc opponent in Utah, and Penn. St. and usc at home.
I use myself as a bit of a barometer. I plan to attend 1-2 home games this year (plus Northwestern). Haven't been to the Rose Bowl since 2016.
