College football’s recent attendance dip hasn’t affected the SEC, but the league is still taking necessary steps to ensure increased fan engagement this fall according to first-year commissioner Greg Sankey.

“Our institutions recognize the passion and loyalty of its fans and are committed to applying resources to maintain and improve their in-stadium enjoyment and satisfaction of SEC events,” Sankey said in a press release on Friday.  “This is the continuation of the commitment our schools have made to address the fan experience and recognition of the importance of our fans to the future success of this conference.”

Research studies over the last several seasons have shown that concessions, connectivity and restrooms are ranked among SEC fans’ highest concerns when attending games.

In-stadium wifi has been a major issue at several SEC venues (not limited to football) and the league is hoping that changes beginning in the fall 2015 season.

Enhancing the multi-media experience at games has been a top priority, according to the SEC’s release:

The SEC was the first major conference to initiate rule changes that allow fans to see in-stadium replays of officials’ reviews while in progress and also has increased in-game opportunities for musical entertainment the past two seasons.  In 2014. ESPN partnered with the SEC to provide video highlights to schools to utilize on stadium video boards for in-game highlights and updates for fans.

During the 2014 season, the SEC averaged 77,704 fans at football games, an increase from 75,674 in 2013 and 74,636 in 2012, according to the release.

“There is a certain culture within the SEC that must be maintained and it is important to our athletics directors to continue to improve the elements that make the experience of being in an SEC stadium different than any other,” said Mississippi State athletic director Scott Stricklin.  “Our research clearly identifies the issues that are most important to our fans, and SEC schools have responded accordingly.”
