I will let someone else extract the game-level attendance for the Paul Johnson and Geoff Collins years.
While Paul did have some lows in 2012 & 2018, his 2014 success drove a nice rebound about 50K per game in 2015.
Unfortunately, Todd Stansbury has been the GT AD with the worse attendance performance in the last 20+ years without counting COVID of course. I do honestly believe that we have to dump some of our FCS games for other P5 FBS teams what people actually want to go watch and TV will televise!
