NC State led the ACC and ranked 12th nationally in averaging 1,868 fans per dual this past season. That mark is a new school record for attendance in a season.
On the national level, after a record 19 schools attracted more than 1000 per match last season, 23 did so this year, setting a new standard for college wrestling. Eleven programs cracked 2000, up from the previous record of nine that did so in 2015-16.
The sport is growing nationally and clearly, Raleigh is doing its part. We need to get our attendance average above 3000 fans to make our home mat advantage truly superior.
