re: What is the smallest crowd at a college or pro game that you have been to?

A Raider game at the LA Coliseum.

Looked something like this.

Jim Smith recruited me in 1977 . Myself and three other recruits saw LSU play I think uno in a weekday games w less than 50 peeps in attendance.

I happened to be near the local minor league baseball park a few years ago, when I saw they had a 10:30 game. I was free for they day, so I stopped by. I was the only fan in the entire stadium until about 10 minutes before first pitch.

Then, the flood gates opened, and elementary school kids poured in from every entrance. The early start time was a school promotion. They bused them in from all over town. The place was packed, and I had kids all over me, spilling drinks, being silly, and doing kid things.

that was my first Zephyrs game at Zephyr Field in the fifth grade...

I was at the lowest announced attendance in Hornets-Pelicans history in 2007 against Philadelphia, 8,302.

Honest answer, some of the lsu basketball games early this season.

Goofy answer - any of Trent Johnson or Johnny Jones' last seasons.

I feel like that has definitely been broken since

Do you remember that Baylor game in 2012 or 13 when the stadium was full? That was a wild sight to see. But yes attendance the last 20 or so years is a joke.

Kansas City Royals game early in the season one year when there were only a couple hundred people there. It was too damn cold for baseball. Started to snow late in the game and the crowd thinned out even more but I wasn't going to leave because George Brett still had an at bat to come.

Been to plenty of college baseball games with a couple hundred people. For football, been to some Memphis State games back in the early 90s with embarrassingly small crowds.

Browns-Saints 1999.

I don't know the attendance number but there were thousands of empty seats in the Dome. The Saints led all the way until the end and then Tim Couch threw a hail mary that got batted into the air and the fricking Browns WR caught it. It wasn't funny then but it is now. Even my step dad who took me to the game didn't rib me and he doesn't even like the Saints.

been to minor leagues games (baseball Baybears Mystics hockey) who both had pathetic crowds in Mobile.

I was at that Saints-Rams game in the Superdome in 1996 when the announced attendance was 26,000. There’s no way there was 26,000 people there. MUCH less. People forget how bad the Saints and their support was in the 90’s- the Superdome was half-filled often.

I was at the same game. Both the Rams and Saints sucked arse. The Rams were 3-9 and the Saints were 2-10. It was the lowest attended Saints game ever at the Dome. As stated the announced crowd was a little over 26,000. It was more like 7,000-9,000. We sat like 15 rows up on the 40. The unique thing is that it was the Sunday after Thanksgiving. Pat Summerall and John Madden has called the Cowboys game on Thanksgiving, so they just sent them over from Dallas to call this crap game. I'm not 100% percent certain, but I'm 99% sure that was the worst combined records of the teams in a game announced by those two.
