Attendance Down Significantly (AJC)

[iceeater1969]

Should have never built the Wardlaw building in the South End Zone. The old horseshoe structure in the South was both historic to some of our best years and architecturally appealing! The College of Architecture should be ashamed that the North End Zone tower of steel was built to regain the seats lost to bizarre brick monstrosity that looms behind the scoreboard! My 2 cents…

Thanks for info on stadium build history.

I think the seats in upper North Have fantastic view of field and downtown atl ( night).

It would be a lot better if it had comfortable seats.

In 2020 max attendance was capped at 11,000, or 20% of the stadium capacity. Each game in 2020 was a sellout. We were at 100% of the 2020 capacity for the stadium. The data is correct.

Why are your 2021 numbers so high?

Why are your 2021 numbers so high?

I assumed a sellout for the uga game. Its a safe assumption. All others are the reported numbers.

Wow!
Ignoring 202 b/c that is an anomaly, that is a huge drop in percentage.... 2019 was 81% and 2021 is 69%

Yet the three year drop from 2018-2021 is inline with the three year drop from 2015-2018. It's fairly conservative to assume that 2020 would have been somewhere in the middle based on the trend line.

This is, as others have mentioned, a nation-wide problem. Getting kids to attend games is more difficult these days, even if the product on the field is terrific. Why put up with the bother if you can watch the games on tv? Some stadiums are always full, off course, but they are actually few and far between. This will have pretty bad repercussions on fan bases in the future, imho. Sports with smaller arenas - basketball, baseball - don't have the same problems for obvious reasons.

Or, put short, no reason to get all hepped up about national trends we probably can't do much about.

Well we stink so that’s probably why no interest
