[QUOTE="FittedJacket, post: 897004, member: 5331"] I think there are a variety of reasons we do not draw consistently big crowds. Many of which have been mentioned by some of you folks. There is a lot of competition from professional sports in the surrounding area no doubt. I think (and I said “I”) that Atlanta is not a huge city for sports. It‘s an eclectic inner city that is dominated by corporate life and progressive pop culture and the arts. Not such a good canvass for a game that many see as boring And a remnant of older America. Further, I believe the economy and the travel into midtown have further caused issues for attendance. Lastly, I’m sure people are concerned with crime and violence. I have never seen it anywhere close to Russ Chandler, but the stigma definitely surrounds the city as a whole. I had a high level recruit’s father tell me “I can never send my son to school in the middle of Atlanta.” His son is now attending a different ACC school. Conversely, baseball in places like “Rocky Top” or “Blacksburg” for example, are literally the only show in town. In those types of places, many of the crowds are people from the local community. I realize that I may have some unpopular views, but nonetheless I appreciate the varying viewpoints.…. [/QUOTE]
