Nearly 400,000 fans watched the University of Kentucky men’s basketball team in Rupp Arena during the 2015-16 season, marking the 18th time in the last 21 years that UK has led the nation in home attendance.

According to figures released by the NCAA on Wednesday, UK led all schools with an average of 23,361 fans per home game. Following Kentucky were Syracuse at 21,592 and Louisville at 20,859.

Since Rupp Arena opened for the 1976-77 season, UK has ranked either first or second in average home attendance every season.

The Wildcats have averaged more than 23,000 fans in six of Coach John Calipari’s seven seasons at Kentucky.

A total of 397,148 fans attended Kentucky’s 17 home games in 2015-16. UK was one of only seven schools with at least 300,000 fans at its home games.

A total of 694,871 fans watched the Wildcats play at home, on the road and at neutral sites in 2015-16, which ranked second in the country. Kentucky set the NCAA record in 2013-14 with 922,653 total fans.
