Read the following on Mankato, and college hockey, attendance. 

https://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/hockey/4827198-MSU-Mankato-is-winning-the-draw-on-college-hockey-attendance.-But-other-regional-teams-are-not 

The author doesn't realize their own contradiction:

  • First, "Yay! Yay!" -- Mankato is up 355 per game average so far this season. 
  • Then, SCSU and UMD are down. 

But the author goes on to admit the following:

  • North Dakota has been 2 of the 10 Mankato home games so far.
  • North Dakota is yet to visit SCSU or UMD this season. 

So let's run Mankato's numbers:

  • So far, 4484 average through 10 games (44840 total).
  • North Dakota games were 4565 and 5038.
  • Take out the North Dakota games and their 8 game average is 4404. 

Take out the North Dakota games and their pace is 275 more per game.  That's solid, but before getting too excited, let the full season play out. 

That said, the author should've been making the "North Dakota" point: Get North Dakota into your barn more often as the visitor to help attendance. (The author sort of does by pointing out UND is yet to visit UMD or SCSU.)
