Yeah, that's why bammer has empty seats for their cupcake games.
Winning certainly will return thousands to the stadium, but attendance is never going to be what it once was.
I'll be there for 2 or 3 games a year no matter what -- but I hate games that can stretch out to 3.5 to 4 hours because they hold up play for 3 minutes for Bud Light commercials on TV and endless official reviews. I hate 'em when I'm at home and I especially hate 'em when I'm sitting on a hard aluminum seat with no armrests and chairbacks, packed like sardines into a 14-inch wide "seat." That was more endurable when the games moved along at their normal pace. And as much as I love the Pride, they haven't seemed to make any new moves or sounds in 20 years. Even Game of Thrones is old.
And let's face it: younger people have a lot more interests, and less interest in football. And there are lots more options for fulfilling those interests. Look at the rise of places like REI. Lots more people out bicycling and hiking and running and working out. They might listen to their favorite teams on AirPods while they're doing these things but they scoff at the thought of spending all that time packed in a stadium and sedentary for 4 hours. And I certainly can't fault them for that.
