MAAC Could Have Only One Team Above Its Average Attendance

[EvanJ]

Here's the MAAC Men's Basketball attendance:

Siena: 5,768
Monmouth: 1,678
Average: 1,671
Iona: 1,536
Rider: 1,399
Canisius: 1,391
Fairfield: 1,384
Marist: 1,140
Niagara: 1,120
Manhattan: 1,098
Quinnipiac: 877
Saint Peter's: 618

MAAC teams play 20 conference games. Siena has played 3 home and 4 away. Looking at conference and overall attendance, the MAAC attendance projects to go down, and Monmouth's projects to go up, so it will be hard for Monmouth to finish below average, but even if nine of eleven teams are below average it would be an unusual distribution.

Quinnipiac, by the way, averages 2,927 in a 3,086 arena for hockey. The rink and the basketball arena are actually connected and share restrooms and food services.
