Looking at the local fanbases

The News & Observer posted some interesting attendance/alumni numbers for the triangle schools:


UndergradsTotal studentsAlumni in N.C.2004 avg. football attendanceStadium capacity

UNC15,68324,315129,04252,45860,000


When you toss in the bandwagoners, Duke's fanbase is much larger. The problem, of course, is that none of these people care to witness a Blue Devils football game.
