Ducks post #1 Pac-10 Spring Game Attendance

For the first time in the program’s history, the Oregon football team posted the highest Pac-10 spring game attendance for 2010.  While there is no real correlation between a spring game attendance and fall results, it does reflect the optimism circulating in a school’s fan base.  Both Oregon and Washington showed a strong gain in attendance from 2009, and USC saw a significant drop.  Defending a national title, Alabama led the nation with a spring game attendance of 91,312. One must take into account the weather, an area’s population base, and the local media buildup for the game.  Below are spring game attendance figures for Pac-10 universities between 2008 and 2010, and how each team finished in the standings the following autumn.
