Correlation between kickoff time and attendance?
In fact, I didn't find a damn thing. See the attached scatter chart. I guess you could says the 11:00A and 8:00P timeslots predict poorer attendance -- duh -- but that's about it. Maybe three seasons is just too weak a data set. Maybe the attendance figures reported in official game stats at gohuskies.com reports seat sold, rather than turnstiles turned (not sure). Or maybe a lot of Husky Football fans care a lot less about kickoff times than I do.

Quality of team and quality of opponent matter more.

Gee, maybe the attendance numbers help explain why UW has a budget shortfall. Out of 21 home games, only 5 come close to having 70,000 or more fans and I'm being generous as I based off of any part of a circle touching the 70k line.TTJ said:To pass the summer doldrums, I started comparing Husky Stadium attendance numbers based on kickoff times, over the 3-year period since HS was remodeled. (It is confirmed: I live a miserable and pathetic life.) Obviously, quality-of-Huskies and quality-of-opponent are the strongest predictors of attendance, as it should be. But as a curmudgeonly old fuck who pines for the traditional 12:30 timeslot and is sick of all the night games, I expected to find at least some discernible trend of better attendance with day games and worse attendance at night.

That's a hot fucking ticket there Pool Boy. -
We need to cross reference the data sets but yeahTierbsHsotBoobs said:Quality of team and quality of opponent matter more.

You should do a multivariate analysis adjusting for confounding variables like UW's record, the opponent's record, conference opp, NW championship opponent, Nebraska's traveling fans, the amount of offseason national championships won in the offseason, the distance Aubs moves the goalposts, where the realdawgers sit, the length of Sunnydodger's podcasts, and then you'll have your answer.TTJ said:To pass the summer doldrums, I started comparing Husky Stadium attendance numbers based on kickoff times, over the 3-year period since HS was remodeled.
