Lehigh was No. 2 in average attendance and No. 3 in aggregate attendance. Though that unspeakable game in Yankee stadium was not included (it was a “neutral site” game), you’ll notice that Lehigh beat a certain school in Easton.

Overall the Patriot League is a dismal 11/13 in overall conference attendance at the FCS level – however, Lehigh’s average attendance is almost in the middle of all FCS programs overall, and that was with a 3-8 record. Also worthy of mention is that Lehigh’s average attendance was greater than that of Villanova, Maine and Albany of the CAA.
