19. Alabama Football

The Alabama Crimson Tide are the definition of a dynasty in college football. They are coached by possibly the best to ever do it in Nick Saban. The Tide have National Titles in four of the last seven years (2009, 2011, 2012, 2015). They have 25 SEC titles overall to go along with 16 National titles.

Alabama averaged 101,112 fans per game last year. This was good for second in the SEC behind Texas A&M. Year in and year out, no matter who they lose to the NFL, the Tide are always a top five team in the country. Players like Amari Cooper, Eddie Lacy, Mark Ingram, even Trent Richardson are the reason Alabama has had such great success over the years.

While they seem to be “Running Back University,” their defense is always excellent. Ha Ha Clinton Dix, Landon Collins, Dee Milliner, Courtney Upshaw are just a few players that fans have come out to see over the years.

Not to mention the great coaching staff. Saban is a college football legend and may go down as the best college coach of all time. Lane Kiffin is a great offensive mind who calls the plays for the Tide.

With the success they’ve had, it isn’t hard to understand why they attract so many fans every week. They ranked fourth in attendance overall last year during their championship season. They come into the 2016 season ranked number one overall again and you can expect the same result when it comes to fan attendance.
