Attendance drops 2 percent in opening month. Average announced attendance is 47,181. Four of the Big Ten's six-highest drawing schools are up this season: Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Michigan State. Ohio State is barely down, and Penn State is down 3 percent.

Since attendance is part of the home advantage here's a list f the 35 least feared stadiums including Akron, Kent St. Ohio U, 6 other MAC schools and Northwestern. ...stupid slide show. :(

Even with sanctions, I'm surprised OSU is down with having Meyer in his first year. With that said, it is interesting that the 2 B1G schools with sanctions this year have lower attendance.

This doesn't surprise me, but only because I follow Ohio State on Facebook and I am consistently seeing tickets available for home games when that never used to be the case.
