[QUOTE="Papa Doc, post: 277120, member: 1712"] Rarely do I say this, you're all correct. :-) Too many games, less local support, mid-week night games on work days in advance of seasonal holidays, all lower bowl game attendance, and many fan bases are dwindling in this era, too. [I] IF[/I] a third of all GT season ticket holders had gone to the game this year, we would have had about 8000 at the game. Sound about right for our crowd? Using the same logic, if a third of UK season ticket holders bought tickets 20,000 would be there. I don't believe either school exceeded that threshold. Game attendance numbers, home - road - bowls, have the strongest correlations to the number of season ticket sales and breadth of overall all fanbases. We struggle mightily with both and have little casual fan interest. Ever try to give away a pair of your season tickets to a home game that you can't attend? Or, try to get someone from work to go with you to a home game? Nearly impossible for the same reasons discussed here; most folks would rather stay home or go the a bar and casually watch multiple teams that aren't their favorites than give up a long day to attend in person. Ironically, the bar example is even exemplified by our club seat season ticket holders who hang out in the bar below the east stands rather than provide visual and vocal support to the guys on the field who are standing on the opposite sideline looking directly at the huge number of empty yellow seats in front them during each home game, but I digress.
