Purdue’s four game homestand to start the season was expected to help the program get off to a good start ont he field. While that didn’t work out at just 1-3, in terms of attendance Purdue is on pace to top last season’s numbers. I have tried to keep track of this to see continued growth because obviously more butts in the seats is a financial windfall to the entire athletic department. Here are the numbers for a few key years.
