Gamecocks Claim 12th NCAA Attendance Title

COLUMBIA, S.C. – For the 12^th-consecutive season, South Carolina women’s basketball led the nation in attendance average, drawing 15,368 fans per home game at Colonial Life Arena for the 2025-26 season.

South Carolina posted nine of the top-10 on-campus crowds in the nation for the season, led by the sellout against Ole Miss on Feb. 22. Six Gamecock home games out-drew the three games of the 2026 NCAA Women’s Final Four in Phoenix.

Gamecock fans have led the nation in attendance since 12,293 showed up per game in the 2014-15 season. That jump from a 6,371 average the previous season marked the biggest increase in average attendance in NCAA history (+5,992). The current streak of 12 seasons includes the 2020-21 campaign during which attendance was limited by the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in the NCAA not officially calculating attendance figures. That decision leaves South Carolina tied with Tennessee’s NCAA-record streak of 11 seasons (2004-14) as the official attendance leader. The Lady Vols have been the NCAA attendance leader a total of 19 times.
