Seems like a lot of those 96% were invisible or disguised as empty seats in the JMHC for many games. I suppose this is paid attendance, which, for revenue, is what matters.
The near 100% RES attendance raises the combined average. I would estimate the JMHS paid attendance at about 85% given the math, and acutal attendance well below that.
Even if football is 100%, that means 92% for basketball if they are equally weighted. Doubting that number is butts in seats. More like cheeks in seats.
They are not equally weighted. It’s total butts in seats in both venues divided by total seats in both venues. And since most football stadiums have 5x the number of seats as a basketball arena, it’s about 5x weighted toward football.
