its not just about the winning that will bring people back.  its winning/excitement/quality opp/demand/weather/cost/tv/game time.. Basketball wins and yet we have way more games under 20K than we do over 25k. Winning + great opp + weekend we get over 30K sometimes.
 
so why do we expect football to fill 80% when basketball doesnt do it?
 
they reality is we have less fans, even though the seating is better and the cost is much lower. there have been a ton of exciting games the last few years, much better than many of the bball games and people are not showing up.
 
there is no demand so people pick a few games to go to. they dont sell all the $100 season tickets so cost is not the issue. how many kids got in free last week?  marketing is part of the problem.  you cant announce stuff 2-3 days ahead of time.  they need to get out in the public and talk with people to find out what people want and why they dont come.  More than anything else its cost and tv.  its just too easy to stay home. they need to get creative.   offer people things like 5 year locked in pricing, offer season ticket holders better pricing on extra tickets, more tier options/pricing for kids, better pricing on multiple game packages. give people a reason to want to buy into the sideline seats. if you buy the $100 end zone you get a game on the sideline for dirt cheap or free.  offer some sideline for less than double/triple the endzone.
 
and they need to work on the students. why should they stay. create some promotions for staying the whole game.
 
they dont seem to have ideas so take ours, they have done it in the past and taken credit for it..
