College football season is almost coming to an end and it's time to get on with those statistics. CBS Sports reported that attendance for college football has decreased for six straight years already although that is not evident with all the crowds cheering for their home team. Here are the Top 10 colleges with the largest football crowd.
The top spot belongs to Michigan with a total of 110,468 in attendance this year. Although the attendance this year has a one percent decrease compared to last year, the stadium capacity was still filled up to 103 percent.
The second and third spot go to Ohio State and Texas A&M. Ohio state had an average attendance of 107,278 while Texas A&M had 101,917 this 2016. There's also a decline in attendance for both but crowd turnout is still good with 104 percent for Ohio and 99 percent for Texas.
