[QUOTE="BobintheATL99, post: 683397, member: 891"] From the article, there are a hurricane of things affecting this: [LIST] [*]Blowout wins/losses [*]Lack of interest from otherwise financially burdened student bodies [*]Availability of other options to consume the product (satellite TV at tailgates in the parking lot) [/LIST] From the non-student perspective: [LIST] [*]TV commercials lengthen the experience to a point it’s not practical to attend, especially when you have kids sports, etc... [*]Beer is not available [*]The stadium experience is not great [/LIST] TV itself has become a parasite on the product it promotes. The outrageous contracts need to be “fed”, which leads to more commercials and higher fees to the cable providers/consumers... The end consumers then stop showing up because they don’t want to deal with losing a whole day. I don’t see a solution. Reducing stadium size is an option, but may be a slippery slope. I’ve tried to think of this in a “supply and demand” frame of reference, but its a really weird model. [/QUOTE]
