Good point. When did the $100 season tix start? And there certainly has been more of a push at getting people in with give aways and cheapies. If those policies were not implemented where would we be? You can argue that the attendance has been the same the last 3 years vs 2005-2007 despite the increase in Ws and competitiveness.

2005-2007 SU avg'd 37375
2009-2011 SU avg'd 39825
 
So despite being a better product and having a bigger push for people to show up, we only have gotten about 2500 more people. That is why I think if we go from the 5-7 type of program we have been the last 3 years to a 7-5 type of program (which IMO is our realistic typical season), we will only be at about 42k per game. Sure if we have the 9-3 type of seasons we had under McNabb we could get 47k per game. But that isn't a realistic expectation for our program IMO. Once in a while sure but not consistently. I think if we go down to 44k it will help with attendance more than hurt. And SU will likely be making more money from it. The capacity should match the size of a fan base.
