So, I make the
- average Saturday night crowd 19,830
- average Sunday afternoon crowd 20,867
Small sample sizes. Not much to take away from it. Easily swayed by Eden Park being full for certain games.
Auckland had a bumper 43k crowd pre-saled sellout cancelled on the final crowdless weekend which would have bumped the gap out by a few more thousand. (Highlanders had 15,000 pre-sales for their crowdless game)
If add the presales for final round. Averages become:
- Saturday night crowd 19,346
- Sunday afternoon crowd 23,080
But, those are actually really good numbers for the Saturday night games.

@Bones i've heard it "people have things to do during the day, we get better turn outs for night games"
Huh, can't say I've heard that before - unless it's in relation to viewing figures.

@Bones must be wrong, thought it was one of the main factors driving night games
Definitely when it comes to telly.
