[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 98365, member: 282"] We graduate a lot more students now than we did 15 years ago, so it's not alumni base. If that were the case, our attendance would be up a good bit. There are a couple of reasons, but TV coverage is one of them. Attendance is down in the B1G, SEC, Pac-whatever, NFL, and so on, even with more people today than 20 years ago. You can probably find counterexamples, but the arenas that are full are ones that already had a waiting list. Even teams that had waiting lists ten years ago are having empty seats these days. People want to watch on their big screen TV sets. You may be growing your fan base, just not in the stadium. There are also a lot more teams in top-level college football, and more in the NFL. That's splitting up the audience. [/QUOTE]
