CAA Attendance

It is almost halfway through the season so I figured I would take a look at the CAA's attendance figures through the first half of the season. I have the schools in order by their average attendance ranking. I also included the schools attendance ranking in the whole FCS and their percent capacity. (As of October 3, 2010)

Here are the top five schools in the FCS in average attendance.

Old Dominion

Percent Capacity- 100%


Notes
Appalachian State has a higher average attendance than 39 schools in the FBS. If App State were in the FBS, they would rank 82nd.

Both Harvard and North Carolina A&T have only played one home game so far this season.

Old Dominion has sold out all three of their home games so far this season. They will be joining the CAA in 2011.
