Attendance numbers for ACC schools
There is a ranking which simply list attendance averages for the period of 2018 to 2022 and the percent of their stadium capacity they reached. Bear in mind that this covers the Covid years and at least 6 of the 9 had coaching changes in this period. Also some may have reduced capacity. But at least it treats something like 132 schools the same. These 9 ACC schools (including ND) are the ones that have had at least a little mention in various P2 speculation.
RANK ATTENDANCE % OF CAPACITY
52 34,287 55%
51 34,608 67%
41 38,589 76%
36 42,821 66%
32 45,557 79%
25 48,340 73%
21 52,872 66%
15 62,537 77%
14 68,035 83%
We know that the initial reason to bring teams to the P2 was national brand and my definition of that is a team that a totally disinterested couch potato, in a different time zone will pause the channel surfing when he/she sees that name. But the P2 now has just about all of the "national brand" teams already, lacking only ND, Miami, Clemson and FSU, There are several national brands in basketball still out there too like UNC, Duke, KU but only UNC among them has shown any longer term pulse in football.
So are the P2 now looking beyond "national brands" and to other factors like academic peers and non revs? After all there is a lot of calendar in the football off season.

without 2020. I don't recall which schools allowed fans that year. The only game we've had below 51k was the desperate Marshall game in 2018.
