[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 948203, member: 1776"] The e-gaming stuff is interesting and wouldn't surprise me in the long term. My son, who turned 20 this week, has very little interest in traditional sports. But he has alot of interest in gaming. He might go to a football or basketball game with me if I take him just to spend time with me, but I don't see him ever getting season tickets (heck even single game tickets) to a professional or college sporting event. Just doesn't interest him. My 29 yr old daughter and son-in-law also do not have season tickets and don't really have an interest to do so. They probably like Soccer the best of any of the traditional sports and hockey funnily enough a little. They will go to a handful of Atlanta United games each year. Might take in one college football and/or basketball game a year. It does certainly feel anecdotally that as the boomers (and Gen X) age there is going to come a point where the interest and money for some of these sports may not be there to support the current funding levels. Just a matter of how far in the future that is. Still might be 20 years away, but it is likely coming. [/QUOTE]
