One year is not going to turn around attendance.  And frankly even 1-2 big wins annually won’t do it. Casual fans have to be sold on the experience- and candidly, a team that has stunk for 20 years, combined with an uncomfortable building with limited parking options and expensive food/drinks is not a good sell. And I say this as someone who attends every game. That’s why the AD is smart to focus on the total experience- pregame on the quad, 50% off concessions coupons, etc. Hopefully the Dome Reno solves some of the other issues. The single biggest factor? Wins over time.

The fan base DOES exist- remember that we had 48k for Marrone’s first game and consistently average 23k for basketball. Getting to the point we average 41-42k is achievable if we address those other factors.  I love Dino (and think we should have enhanced his contract after last year) and want him to stay, but these issues didn’t begin in 2015- and they won’t be resolved in one year.
