Kentuckys announced attendance figure of 44,902 for the Vanderbilt game raised some eyebrows at Commonwealth Stadium on Saturday. I checked with UK officials about getting the actual scanned attendance figure for the game (each person who enters the venue has a ticket or pass scanned), but they said those numbers were unavailable at the time and had never been requested previously.
So we filed an Open Records Request to get the actual scanned attendance for games this season and last season. This seasons numbers are below, but Kentucky said it does not have the numbers available for the 2011 season.
I may do a longer piece this week about how attendance is figured at UK and throughout the country (there is no industry standard apparently), but I wanted to put the numbers out there as promised.
Game Announced Actual
Kent State 48,346 37,000
Western Kentucky 53,980 43,174
South Carolina 49,810 35,086
Miss State 49,498 29,927
Georgia 54,553 33,420
Vanderbilt 44,902 18,885
