re: Gymnastics attendance > baseball atendance

For football games they use the actual number present including fans, game management, press, etc. so would presume they do the same for all sports.

They use paid + teams, refs, staff, press, etc.

LSU football almost never reports actual attendance (because we've never had more than 90k actual before expansion).

In reality, LSU only really cares about reporting paid attendance. They still get the money from the ticket regardless of whether anyone showed up.
