[QUOTE="JacketOff, post: 696559, member: 4572"] I’m not sure what you’re trying to get at here? Does what matter? The emphasis TV has taken in regards to sports hasn’t really changed my viewing experience of college sports, either at the game or watching it on TV. I grew up in an age where most of the games were televised, but not all, and definitely not any G5 (non existent at the time) or FCS games unless you were lucky and they were on Raycom or something. The SEC network didn’t become a thing until I was a teenager. Even growing up in an age where broadcasts are seen as just as important as the in game atmosphere, I still much prefer to watch games from the stadium. I’ve never understood people who don’t like watching games live. Obviously there are hindrances for people getting to games, but especially when I was a student at Tech and tickets were free and you could walk home, I never understood why people wouldn’t want to go. A lot of my friends would tailgate, and then when the game was about to start they’d head home and watch other games on TV. I didn’t get it. Regardless of whether or not I get it, it’s not going to change. TV and streaming broadcasts of games will increasingly become more popular. That’s why it’s important Tech gets in front of as many eyes as possible. It’s why playing a prime time game matters. Will Tech ever get to a point where 4-5 out of 7 home games at Bobby Dodd Stadium are sellouts again? It’s doubtful. But as it’s been discussed before, declining attendance isn’t unique to GT. It’s widespread across all sports at all levels. Sports popularity is on the decline, while electronic entertainment is increasing rapidly. [/QUOTE]
