Since 2013, the University of Louisville men’s basketball team has seen a steady decline in attendance at home games. With new leadership bringing improved morale to the program, the university is looking to shift the attendance trend in a positive direction.
From 2013 to 2018, the average attendance at men’s basketball games decreased by a staggering 23 percent, dropping from 21,571 to 16,601 in that timeframe.
At the end of the 2013 season, the average attendance for home games was at 21,571. The next four seasons averaged around 21,100 fans for each home game, the lowest year being 2017 with an average of only 20,486 fans per home game.
