[QUOTE="TechPhi97, post: 150718, member: 158"] I would say that the players aren't the main reason why people fill the stadium, either. The tradition at the school, the years and history associated with the program, are huge reasons why people buy tickets year after year. Individual players have some sway, but I think the effect is greater after they are gone. I bet more people buy season tickets off of the memory of Joe Hamilton than they do off of the play of Justin Thomas. I do think great players can sway people to buy tickets, because the expectation of being better will get more people to attend. But that might add an incremental 5% to season ticket holders - those season ticket holders are much more likely to cancel tickets because they've had enough of a coach (see: Georgia Tech basketball). All in all, the coach and tradition are much more important for keeping the seats full than the current crop of players, who will be gone in 2-3 years but I'll still be here rooting on the Jackets.
