The Univ. of Washington through its first five home football games has "experienced an increase in stadium attendance from last season," according to Lauren Kirschman of the Tacoma NEWS TRIBUNE. Husky Stadium has an "average paid attendance of 69,588, which ranks first in the Pac-12." Since '15, UW’s "average paid attendance has been on the rise." It was 61,919 during the '15 season, "jumped to 64,589" in '16 and was 68,822 in '17 following UW's appearance in the CFP. According to the NCAA, the boost of 4,233 from '16 to '17 was the "seventh-largest increase in the country." UW had an "average scanned attendance" of 54,479 in '17. That is a "difference of 14,473" compared to paid attendance. Meanwhile, Washington State had a "paid attendance of 31,982" in '17, and their "scanned attendance was 23,996." That means their attendance "increased by 7,986 per game." WSU has had "three paid home sellouts this season, including a season-high number of 33,152 for the game against Oregon when ESPN’s ‘College Gameday’ came to Pullman on Oct. 20."
