Will Roy Williams’ Successor Come From the Carolina Family? by Marcus Hagness

The 2013-2014 NCAA basketball season is over and done with and the NCAA has released the attendance numbers for the past season.

The Dean Dome holds 21,750 people which ranks 5th largest in the country according to College Express. With the North Carolina Tar Heels having a prominent fan base, attractive schedule and large arena it is no surprise they are near the top of the list.

UNC’s home attendance was 4th overall on the list of 100 teams with an average of 18,025 per game. They are second in terms of ACC teams as Syracuse, no surprise, tops the list with an average of 26,253.

The Orangemen play in the largest stadium which also serves as a football field. They opened up more seats for both the North Carolina and Duke games this year, their first season in the ACC. Rival Duke was ranked 46th at an average of 9,314 but that’s no surprise given their smaller stadium.

Conference wise the ACC finished second to the Big 10 pulling in an average of 10,661 per game. The ACC does have three more teams than the Big 10 conference, so the numbers are a little shocking.

As far as neutral, home and road attendance figures combined goes, the Tar Heels finished 10th with 525,583. The University of Kentucky finished atop that list with a staggering 922,653.
