[QUOTE="Jmonty71, post: 681650, member: 2970"] Reason why attendance is down? There are numerous reasons. Just to go over 3 1. Cost has to be #1. Ticket prices go higher and higher, each year. Some schools maintain costs and some do not. The bigger the product, the higher the cost. 2. Different world from 10 years ago. We are in an age where people rather talk over computers, text and emails versus face to face. The world of football isn't much different. The number of people that are introverted is growing. This due to things like social media, lack of trust in the world and other things. 3. Fair Weather fans. Face it... If you have a program that isn't winning games, the crowds go down. Once upon a time, you went to a game to support your team. Now, you support your team (when they are winning). When Bama declines, I bet their fan base reduces by 30% or more. We are in a world of instant gratification. Must win now... If you aren't winning, the interest is lost. Just my 3 thoughts. I know these sound crude. But, I wanted to be honest. As the younger generation gets older, I expect to see the decline in most sports go down. Teams that are winning will see much less decline versus teams that aren't winning. [/QUOTE]
