As the college football season approaches, teams across the country have been holding their annual spring games, offering fans a glimpse of what’s to come in the fall. While the games themselves may not count for much, they provide an opportunity for schools to showcase their talent and give fans a chance to see their team in action.
They also allow the opportunity to brag about attendance numbers. This year, the back-to-back champions, Georgia, drew 54,000 fans. That’s what attendance was limited to due to construction at Sanford Stadium.
But it’s not just the Bulldogs drawing crowds. Programs back in the national spotlight, such as Tennessee, FSU and South Carolina, also saw strong turnouts. Colorado even had big numbers thanks to the excitement surrounding its new head coach Deion Sanders.
