A comparison worth making imo is with TCU, which has had some great success but never consistently filled its stadium in Fort Worth:

The most damning evidence of the struggles GP and TCU has had with its fan base remains Oct. 6, 2012 — at home vs. Iowa State. TCU was undefeated and ranked 15th in the nation for its first-ever home Big 12 game. And to greet the team were thousands and thousands and thousands of empty seats on a cool, but not miserable, overcast Saturday afternoon.

The atmosphere and party scene around Amon G. Carter Stadium remains first-rate, but inside the venue it’s hit or miss. Too often it’s a miss.

Someone should doublecheck, but Wikipedia has TCU's attendance for home games this year as very strong but not quite selling out their 45k-seat stadium: 43,257 in a top-25 match-up against West Virginia, for example.
