Gone are the days when Baylor football was an annual contender in the Big 12 Conference and captivating fans’ hearts with a lightning quick offense.
Baylor is only a couple years removed from the Bears putting up historic numbers on the offensive side of the ball en route to nine-, 10- and 11-win seasons.
McLane Stadium, built in 2014 to house a maximum of 45,410 fans, blew away the capacity and averaged just over 46,000 in attendance in 2014 and 2015. In 2016 the number dropped, but only down to 45,838, which is still above capacity.
