Lamar had their best year since 2018-19 last year with 128,120, and SFA is currently having its best year since 2018-19 with 127,636 so far this athletic year.
McNeese sports have been growing, and attendance has been proof of it. Tonight we should pass what I think would be the most all-time across all sports, and for sure since the 2012-13 athletic season.
Since Covid/Hurricane seasons, attendance:
2020-21: 33,157 / 78 games (COVID)
2021-22: 106,450 / 107 (COVID/Hurricane)
2022-23: 160,457 / 111
2023-24: 186,705 / 117
2024-25: 185,483 / 115
2025-26: 185,920 / 90
The Cowboys have a chance at crossing 200k this year for what I think is the first time in history. If anyone can confirm/correct me, who has more info would be awesome!
