[QUOTE="Technut1990, post: 688039, member: 3774"] This is a huge part of attendance problems. When I was growing up you had to go to the games or find a radio, there was no “ what TV network has the game this weekend”. Yes there were TV games but about 4 each year. I remember having to listen to Tech lose to Furman back under Bill Lewis ( I think ) on the radio. Now a days we watch them lose to The Citadel on regional TV coverage as if it’s expected to be on TV. As much as I love football and Tech it’s very convenient to sit in my living room and watch the games. The food is way cheaper, the beer - well there’s beer, no bathroom lines and no parking fees and no ATL traffic. Add to the equation that TV contracts are rapidly financially replacing most programs needs for fans in the seats and this is why attendance is falling. Heck when you are at the games you still have to endure TV timeouts, where everyone stands around on the field waiting for the play signal. I have to admit that several years back a friend offered me tickets to the Ga game and I declined them, I just didn’t want to get up at 8am and deal with traffic in ATL when I could get up at 10am, do some chores and be in my living room at 12n Sign of the times [/QUOTE]
