Still not sure we would get over 45k. Yeah we did it during the Coach P era, but those were different times. That isn't an SU thing, as attendance isn't the same anywhere.

That being said, coming off of 2018, being ranked preseason, and having Clemson at home really setup for a big year in 2019. We started off that way but then the wheels came off and by the time of the Wake game we barely drew a crowd.

If you take out Wake we averaged 43,850 in 2019. Even if we didn't crap the bed against Maryland, I doubt we get many more people for Clemson, Western Michigan, or Holy Cross. Maybe we get a slightly larger crowd vs Pitt. I am sure the BC crowd would have been bigger. If we add 5k more to our total from those 5 games and bump Wake up to 45k, we would have been at 44,875.

In a normal year where we don't have a loaded home schedule of name teams, I think our ceiling is 45k. If SU were like Pitt under Narduzzi, I think we would be in the 42,500 to 45,000 season average range. That is where we should be. The reason we are below that level is the product on the field.
