Yes. Paid is a NCAA recognized stat. Actual isn't.
The LSU baseball article specifically commented that LSU was concerned that despite averaging over 9,000 season tickets only 5,400 were actually showing up.
The gymnastics article did not differentiate, so you may be correct but at face value it stated 5,600 fans attended.
I am not sure you are correct about NCAA recognized stats. 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.
I would also question your chart as its very unlikely average attendance dropped 1,000 fans between 2013 and 2014 given the continued rise of he program. The Reveille may need to revisit those numbers.
By the way you do a great job with basketball coverage and I always enjoy your posts.

I feel sorry for you. This is sad.

not matter the reliability of the stats SoS posted, you are comparing actual stats to paid stats. That isn't a fair comparison.
Gymnastics may not have many unused tickets like baseball does, but your statement is based on a faulty comparison.

Paid attendance is what is officially listed in boxscores. Trust me on this. LSU had nearly 102,000 listed as an attendance for the ULM football game last year. You really think there were that many people there.

I am, but keep up the good fight. Just learn to pick your battles.
Why would you try to prop up the LSU gym team by putting down the baseball team? It makes no sense seeing that the fandom should overlap.

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.

You are wrong.
