Continues to amaze me that you think the "fan unfriendly" decisions make a dent in attendance.

Students, alums, locals, regionals, attendance is down across the board.  And it's because we've been a bad to mediocre team since 1998 (with one spike above that in 2001, possibly 2012).  Most of this time our hoops program hangs out in the Top 5, Top 10, plays top opponents in a top shelf league, which I personally think helps drag down the fan attitude about football.

If fans realistically thought we were good enough to compete with the FSUs, Clemsons, NDs on our schedule this year, do you think enough people would give a rat *** about the Metlife deal to stay away from the Dome?

What they need to do in this down time is reassess the pricing across the board to try to entice more fans to come into the building.  The only pricing decisions they've made were fan friendly, but did not impact enough seats.  They need to address the sidelines now, and then raise prices back up as performance warrants the demand.
