Division I-FBS football attendance in 2013: 38 million people over approximately 130 schools. The SEC led in total attendance as a conference with 7.5 million and hit 16 years of having the highest average attendance (75,674 per game) -though an SEC institution cannot claim the highest total attendance owing to two incredibly large stadiums in the Big 10, but Alabama did come in third. The Big XII-4+2 managed third in average attendance with 58,899. The SEC, PAC, Big 10 and ACC set records for average attendance in 2013.
