SDSU comes in at number 21 in the nation averaging 1,128.7 fans per home dual meet. I feel like the weather hurt those numbers quite a bit. I hear that there were a few snow storms that kept people away from some meets. I think that SDSU was top ten two years ago. With the success that they've had it will be interesting to see if they can get those number back up to where they were. NDSU was their best attended event with 1,679 which was strange to me; Minnesota and Iowa State would both normally have both brought in at least 2,000, I wonder if they were two of the duels that lined up with bad weather. Next year should be a rough one for attendance as Minnesota and NDSU will all most likely be away if they're on the schedule at all. I hope they're able to get a big home match against Iowa, Nebraska, or even a second match with NDSU like they had two years ago, otherwise they could be looking at a pretty lackluster home schedule. Oklahoma State will have a very good team next year and they could get some locals out assuming that they're coming and Northern Iowa could draw some people in though I don't know what that contract looks like. Kevin Dresser tweeted that Iowas State will be be going to Brookings next year, that match should attract some fans. After this year's success and some of the high-flying performances that we've seen, I expect that they'll have fewer sub-1,000 person crowds but they might have to work some magic to get a crowd much above 2,000. I can't wait to see what next year's schedules look like. I know that some teams are already pretty close to finalizing their schedules; we might not have to wait as long as we'd normally expect to.
