[QUOTE="LibertyTurns, post: 827351, member: 789"] Similar to our back & forth on what GT should do as far as size of the school is concerned, no an individual fan cannot hold CGC, Key, Thacker or Stansbury accountable. However, fans en masse vote with their feet. We had an announced attendance of 37k at MBS for what by GT standards was one our bigger game for us being played at a top venue. I’ll include only the mutt years football attendance for comparison purposes: 2019 44600 2017 46900 2015 50700 2013 49100 2011 48200 2009 51500 2007 50300 2005 51600 2003 52800 We’re going to be losing about $2M in gate revenue in the last 6 years, may end up being as much as $3 this year if we only draw 40k/game. We may be staring at losing 20% attendance over that period. We lost 4% the previous 12 years. We’re all looking at the big donors to save us, or ACC Network, or conference realignment, ESPN TV money, etc but at the end of the day if there’s flaccid fan interest, our program is going to suffer big time. Gaining back 10k fan per game (possibly 7k of the 10k lost during CGC’s tenure) is going to be no small feat. [/QUOTE]
