Miami had the 7th lowest average attendance in FBS football this year at a little over 12,000. Akron had the lowest—6000+. Kent , NIU, Ball State, Sam Houston State, & Kennesaw State had lower attendance. Pretty pathetic! Toledo lead the MAC at 21,000 +
Ouch. Extra bad considering we had such a large crowd for the UC game.
Though obviously mid-week games are for TV revenue, not in-stadium revenue.

I dont think Miami lied about attendance much this year and they had two rain games
The attendance for UC (especially the student side) and Ohio (especially the home side) was very good

Mid day week games suck. Do nothing to help attendance
And games in pouring rain
