UH wins and attendance, 2019

The downhill slide continues.

The Cougars averaged 25,518 fans per game for their five home games at TDECU Stadium* in 2019, which is a decline of 4,320 fans/game from the 2018 season. This is the lowest average attendance since the 2013 season (the year before TDECU opened) and the third consecutive year of attendance decline for the program. Since the 2016 season the program has lost an average of 13,436 fans per game.

Coming off a four-win season and with a 2020 home slate consisting of Rice, North Texas, Tulane, Tulsa, Central Florida and South Florida, the ticket office is going to face an uphill battle in order to reverse this unfortunate trend.

*The game against Washington State at NRG Stadium is officially a neutral site, so the NCAA does not include it in our attendance totals. If we were to include it, Houston’s average attendance jumps to 28,019, which still represents an overall decline from 2018.
