Roar Pro
So now we have come to the end of the 2011 Super rugby season and I think it’s time to have a look back at the crowds for this season.
Keep in mind that it will be hard to compare this season with previous seasons.
This is due to the fact we have an extra team, different conference match set ups, each team doesnt play every other team and also the extra playoff matches in the Finals
I must thank the Chiefs, Blues, Lions, Bulls and Cheetahs Admin staff who all helped in compiling the final crowd totals.
Note: I also disregarded the round 2 match between the hurricanes and Crusaders as it was cancelled.
At the end of the Super Rugby 2011 Pool Rounds.
Total Crowds = 2,405,002
Total matches = 119
Average = 20,210
At end of Playoffs and finals:
Total Crowds = 2,577,711 (an increase of 40.3%!)
Total Matches = 124
Average = 20,788
