[QUOTE="Augusta_Jacket, post: 836334, member: 1191"] I'll have to find the article where someone ranked all the FBS schools by attendance as measured by % of stadium capacity. (That kept it fair in terms of a team with a 35k stadium competing with tOSU, Michigan, or the SEC giants.) GT ranked 49th with just north of 85% capacity. (Bear in mind this is reported attendance, not actual turnstile #s) This was data from 2019. I'll grant that 2020, and 2021 to a large degree, have to be thrown out due to COVID, but we are losing more fans in seats than the factories. Winning will drive the numbers upward, but they won't fix the long term problem which is fan replenishment. Simply stated, our team isn't generating new fans in enough numbers to drive attendance. This is why I have been a proponent of downsizing the stadium to about 45k seats and upgrading those existing areas into more premium amenities. If you want to insist that, in spite of all data to the contrary, GT is keeping pace with everyone else in the nation regarding attendance, then yes, there is no point in dialoging about it. [/QUOTE]
