Notre Dame is not as bad off attendance wise as most. Of the 130 FBS schools, ND is in the bottom 11 for enrollment. So the impact of whether or not students attend is relatively small compared to the Ohio States of the world. Plus the smaller enrollment means fewer alumni. I think the major factor for ND not selling out may just be it’s too damned expensive for a lot of people when costs for tickets, Parking, jacked up motel rates, etc. are factored in. It’s also easier to get tickets on the secondary market or cheaply on game day for unattractive match ups, so why buy early as used to be almost a requirement during the lottery days.
