[QUOTE="SolicitorJacket, post: 342640, member: 990"] I think over time a few things have come into play. Number one was the Tech fund which seems to have eaten into the crowds in the upper East especially. Also our ticket sales usually have a pretty wide swing based on opponents. I would hazard a guess that this year many UGA and Tennessee fans snapped up the cheaper non tech fund tickets to get in the door for MBS and COFH. Also as some have mentioned attendance has become an issue for more programs as tv options and quality make it easier to stay home. Also today's college students seem a bit less rabid about football and don't center their fall socializing around it as much. Finally, with all due respect to iceeater1969, the youth sport ticket giveaway gets mentioned every time this issue is raised, but the problems there are two fold. Number one, unlike years ago youth sports have a lot of games and travel on the weekends. In fact, I hear many people say they can't get to the games (especially nooners) because they have youth sports obligations. Second, you would have to have a good portion of all area youth sports kids at every home game to even make a dent in our 8-10k shortfall. [/QUOTE]
