The University of Denver finished 8th in the nation in average attendance last season. DU has recorded 76 consecutive regular season sellouts at Magness Arena dating back to the 2004-05 National Championship season.
The Western Collegiate Hockey Association dominated the national attendance rankings with six of the top nine schools. In fact, all 10 WCHA schools ranked in the top half of the 59 Division I hockey-playing schools.
Wisconsin averaged 14,133 fans per game, North Dakota averaged 11,709 fans per contest and Minnesota drew 9,943 fans to lead the country.
Colorado College was fourth in the country at 6,932 fans per game, while Denver was eighth with a 5,933 average and St. Cloud State was ninth with a 5,872 average.

Perhaps the "sagging" Denver economy (a debatable claim) will help DU as people who are reluctant to spend money on Avs games head to Magness instead- I know more than one person who has that attitude.
That would be good news if DU can attract some Avs fans, but the last I heard the sales were running slower than in past years.
