Exclamation BC bucks attendance trend
Most FBS teams have seen attendance decline in recent years, but the ACC has one notable exception in its midst: Boston College. The Eagles have seen their home attendance numbers increase by 5,700+ over the last 3 years:

2015: 30,205
2016: 32,157
2017: 35,924

IMO, part of it is improvement by the home team - the product on the field has gotten better, and they are playing for bowl games now.

Another part is trading quantity for quality: BC has gone from 7 home games in 2015 (many of them uninteresting) to 6 home games in 2016 and 2017. It's easier to sell 6 tickets than 7 - especially when 2 or 3 of those 7 are uninspiring games.

They've also put more emphasis on playing local teams like UConn and UMass. While they did get a visit from Notre Dame in 2017, BC has not built its home schedule on marquee P5 games.

Is this a scheduling strategy that other ACC teams might use? Thoughts?
