The NORC at the University of Chicago reports 39 percent of average college football fans in TV areas have not bought a ticket since 1950. In 1952 and 1953 most attendees who bought tickets attended a single team, and TV viewing is creating a new habit that reduces live attendance by about 27 percent below 1947-48 levels.
