It’s no secret that Indiana has a problem with getting fans to attend football games at Memorial Stadium. Even a more successful program led by Kevin Wilson has failed to affect the average attendance per game, which has been fluctuating in the 40k-45k range for the past five years.
These numbers are generous, too. As a semi-frequent goer to Indiana football games, the average seems a little high, or perhaps are skyrocketed whenever some of the other Big Ten powerhouses come to town, such as Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Wisconsin, etc. Whenever an Indiana promo pic for football is released with a packed stadium, it is usually taken during an Ohio State or Wisconsin game to emulate that all of the supporters in Red and White are actually Hoosier fans.
