Home attendance
[edit]_3623.jpg)
Wisconsin led all NCAA Division I women's ice hockey programs in both average and total home attendance, averaging 2,907 spectators and totaling 52,321 spectators. This marked the sixth consecutive instance[a] in which the program led in these measurements of attendance.[4]
The 14,430 spectators that attended the February 3 home game at the Kohl Center against St. Cloud State marked the second-highest attendance up-to-that-point in NCAA Division I women's ice hockey history.[3] second only to the attendance for Wisconsin's January 14, 2017 home match against the same team during its 2016–17 Wisconsin Badgers women's ice hockey season (15,359), and surpassing the attendance of Wisconsin's February 15, 2020 home match against Ohio State during its 2019–20 season (14,361).[4]
