Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 3114719, member: 173"] I’ve loved going into sporting events all my life - but it’s a lot easier now to just watch on TV when you’ve got HD big screens. And ticket prices at most places have outpaced inflation since the 80s (in some places substantially outpaced it...), so that’s a factor. Then having to wait in line to get scanned is a fairly new PITA which contributes to my occasional lack of enthusiasm in going - when I was in school, I used to have late classes and would have my book bag under my seat at basketball games; probably wouldn’t go to many games now if I had to drop it off at an apartment first. I think we’re in a new era; we’ll draw well for “event” games like Clemson. Even if Syracuse is top 10, I’d expect games like Western Michigan (and even more so Holy Cross) will struggle attendance wise. Complaining about it is pointless; we can’t compare to crowds in 1989, we need to recalibrate to a more recent frame of reference. [/QUOTE]
