Sometime after the the 2001 season attendance started to decline.  The get a life statement sure didn't help.  P&D's screw up's and way to many What games added fuel to the fire. I thought it was nit picking to not go to games after Shaw's comment.
 
We have only sold the Dome out once.  Not even when guys like McNabb, Graves or McPhearson were here could we do it. When teams like Notre Dame, Auburn, Ohio State, and Miami to name a few could we sell it out.
 
Now, after all the bad to not much better teams over 10 years and not to mention the up and down of going to a bowl and then coming out and really sucking the next year, people are pretty sick of the roller coaster sensation. 
 
I guess what I am trying to say is, if we don't get some quality players to build the program, we won't get quality wins to keep people going through the turnstiles.
 
I just don't think we will average 45, 000 next year.  Even when McNabb was here all we averaged was 45,000.  We don't have anyone of his caliber yet.  If Broyld works out or that kid who is coming in next year, the Texas quarterback, his name escapes me, that may get us heading in the right direction for attendance to go up.  I really think it will take a while.
