Wichita State hasn’t sold out Eck Stadium in years.
In 24 home games this season, Wichita State has filled just 5 % of Eck Stadium’s 8,153-person capacity.
Information obtained by The Sunflower this week indicates ticket scan numbers, which would reflect real attendance, represent just 26 % of Wichita State’s reported attendance numbers this season.
Wichita State says it uses paid attendance numbers in the attendance reports it sends to the NCAA, and what it is included in box scores. Russell Wilkins, director for ticket operations, said this week that practice is standard among NCAA schools.
