Let’s face it, Saturdays in the Fall just hit different. Don’t take our word; check out the 2025 average home attendance figures in the SEC.
Fans of the Southeastern Conference have a fever, and it’s just not in Stark Vegas, where the only cure is more Cow Bell. I mean, who doesn’t love a party in The Grove? But even Ole Miss is 23-2 in the last three years at The Vaught. Jeff Fuller is an amateur college football data and stats junkie on Twitter. Fuller put together the average home attendance for the 2025 season. Well, the SEC may not have played or won a national championship in 2025, but it did lock out 10 of the top 14 spots on Fuller’s list.

SEC Dominates 2025 Average Home Attendance
Before we take a look at where all sixteen teams ended up, let’s compare the SEC with its P4 counterparts. Then we will take a deep dive into Fuller’s list, identifying each team’s average home attendance for 2025, the percentage of capacity filled, and one tradition that the school is known for.
Comparing and Contrasting P4 Average Home Attendance Figures
Well, the B1G can brag a bit; they did lock out the two top spots on Fuller’s list. It makes sense, Michigan and Penn State are the two largest stadiums in college football. While we will not bat an eye at the White Out in Happy Valley, the Big House seems more like a Big Noon Church service than a chaotic college football Saturday. Here is a closer look at where each of the P4 ended up.
- B1G
The B1G grabbed four of the Top 14 spots. Ohio State and Nebraska joined Michigan and Penn State in the rankings. - ACC
What would the Atlantic Coast Conference do without “Lil Ole Clemson”? The Tigers were the ACC’s highest-ranked team. 79,142, 100% capacity, Tiger fans “met at the paw” to see the Tigers underwhelm and win only seven games, despite having nine players drafted in 2025. - Big 12:
You can bet (maybe poor word choice, especially in Lubbock) that Brett Yormark will continue to innovate to try to bring the best to Big 12 fans. Stadiums are just not that big on the prairie or wherever the conference is expanding to next. BYU, Iowa State, and Texas Tech carry the flag for the conference as its highest-ranked teams. Too bad, 25 teams from the other three P4 conferences and Notre Dame are ranked ahead of them. - Notre Dame:
We all know Notre Dame is special, even if the committee didn’t pick them in 2025. The Fighting Irish were the highest Independent and ranked 16th in attendance. Notre Dame averaged 77,622 fans this year, 100% capacity in South Bend. Something Touchdown Jesus can smile down on.
The 100 Club
Billy Bob would give the SEC a ten…we won’t finish the quote to keep this article PG. Ten SEC teams avergaged 100% or greater capacity in 2025. Here is a look at the SEC’s honor for average home attendance in 2025.
- Texas A&M: 106,159 (101.29%)
The original home of the 12th Man. Sure, it didn’t help them score more than three points against the Canes in the playoffs this year, but it was something. Right? - Texas: 102,367 (102.24%)
The House that Arch built will be rocking in 2026. Ok, Arch didn’t build it, but if he can lead the Longhorns to an SEC and national championship, they may rename the stadium after him. Come on, how cool would it be to play at The Arch on the 40 acres? - Tennessee: 101,915 (100%)
Here is hoping we see Dolly sing Rocky Top one more time before the Pride of the Southland forms the “T” for the Vols to run through. - Alabama: 100,077 (100%)
Nick Saban may be gone, but the Million Dollar Band is still a sight to see. - Georgia: 93,033 (100%)
What’s that coming down the tracks? It doesn’t get any better than “hunkering down” and barking at opponents between the hedges on a Saturday night “black out” in Athens. - Florida: 90,125 (101.78%)
Jon Sumrall is giving Gator fans little reason to “Not Back Down.” The Swamp is always a difficult place to play in the SEC. Just ask Ole Miss and Texas in the last two years. - Auburn: 88,043 (100%)
Who wants to play Auburn at night? Ok, let’s be honest, just about anybody under the last three administrations. The Crowd Surfing, though, is a thing of beauty when the Tigers are rocking. - Oklahoma: 83,532 (104.25%)
Welcome to the SEC, new guy. Norman is a must-see on many SEC faithful’s bucket list. Who doesn’t want to see a Conestoga wagon pulled by two white ponies (Boomer and Sooner) that storms the field after OU scores? - South Carolina: 79,334 (102.29%)
Grab your glow sticks and towels, the Sandstorm is a sight to see at Williams-Brice, even if the game on the field is lacking. - Ole Miss: 66,772 (104.27%)
Win or lose we Grove. That was the saying in Oxford. Lane did a lot to change the narrative. Let’s see what happens under ole Pete.
The 90s
- LSU: 101,575 (99.27%)
So close for the Tigers, maybe the Lane Train can help LSU find its way into the 100 club in 2026. Tiger Stadium is special. From the tailgates to the stadium, the whole place is a vibe. So head down to Baton Rouge and rock out as the band plays Neck. - Arkanas: 69,762 (91.54%)
Maybe Ryan Silverfield can give the Arkansas faithful a new reason to “Call the Hogs!” Woo Pig Sooie is looking forward to better days in 2026. - Kentucky: 57,779 (94.72%)
Kroger Field is a sneaky good place to play in the SEC, especially at night. - Missouri: 57,321 (91.54%)
Speaking of night games, CoMo West isn’t much fun for opposing teams.
Room for Improvement
- Mississippi State: 53,186 (88.19%)
We may need more cowbells. Is that possible? - Vanderbilt: 34,813 (86.28%)
34k for an SEC Stadium. Can we trade for Ohio State already?
