Announced attendance for yesterday's 76-0 rout of Howard by the Eagles was 26,132, with a decent number arriving in their seats after the score was already 14-0 BC and the game was functionally over. This is the second straight week of sub-30,000 attendance at Alumni Stadium, following last week's 29,626 vs. Maine. That mark was the lowest season-opening attendance at BC since the stadium's expansion.
Yesterday's attendance is the lowest for any BC game since 25,165 attended the Eagles' tilt with Kent State on September 12, 2009. In terms of historical lows, this game joins the Kent State game, last week's Maine game, BC-Maine 2014, and BC-Buffalo 2006 as the only games with sub-30,000 attendance since Alumni was expanded in 1994.
