Here are the SEC football home stadium attendance stats from 2011. The loyalty of SEC fans are shown in the numbers as even some of the losing teams had good attendance, but that is partially due to opposing fans traveling.
Six schools averaged 100 percent capacity or better with Georgia, South Carolina, and Auburn close behind at 98 percent or more. In all, 11 teams were over 92 percent and only three were under 90 being Kentucky, Missouri, and Vanderbilt. Alabama had the highest average attendance with 101,821 and there were eight teams with an average over 79,000.
The new additions to the SEC vastly differ in attendance. Texas A&M packed in an average of 87,183 with a 105 percent capacity (1st in conference). I am not sure how they got the extra five percent in, but who knows, they are the Aggies. Missouri lagged behind with an average attendance of 62,095 at 87.5 percent capacity (13th in conference). Only Vanderbilt had a lower percent.
