Furthermore, no game had less than 1,000 fans in attendance and the games marked the highest attendance in fans in 15 years since 52,750 attended the eight state championship games that were played at the Citrus Bowl (now Camping World Stadium) in Orlando in 2007.

Here is a breakdown of the numbers from both weekends.
