Think of the difference in game management between baseball/softball and football.... there's your answer

I just think the whole TV excuse is an easy way out. We have deep rooted problems with the game day experience when it comes to football. That is answer to why people are not showing up.

I'll be the first to admit that I stay home and watch football because I can. If they weren't streamed, I'd find a way to go by myself or just with my wife. I will not attempt to bring my kids until the game management is improved. On the other hand, we go to the majority of baseball games.

People try to pin that on the fact that it's on TV. That's not true. The game management causes a willing customer to choose an alternative option.

I have never meet someone who did not go to a sporting event because it was on TV.

People got kids bruh. Wife and kids don't care about sports. Its alot easier watching the game at home and taking a shower at halftime.

If it was not streaming would you drag them to the game?

Lannister has kids also. As a matter of fact his new born has made some Cajun games.

The Nielsen article fanof71 referenced must be old because it defines a millennial as being between the age of 18 and 34. Currently the age of millennials is 26 to 41 years of age. So the article is at least 8 years old. Things have changed since the article was written.

2017...but my point still stands...

I wasn’t going to go last weekend but since it was on NFL network I decided to go to do my part in making the crowd look big. But you are still correct in your statement because we never met.

You only did your part if you brought someone new to the game.

Roarman fits in the 26 to 41 age range.

lol 15k more aint walking through those gates if the game was not on TV .. 7 of the top 10 highest attended games in UL history were during the rise of ESPN 3.


Let me ask you this did baseball/ Softball attendance change during games that were not broadcasted this year ?

I have no idea and won't speculate.

But you said you never have heard anyone say that. Hell, I hear it from 10-15 different people each week.

"We thought about going to the game, but just decided to watch it on TV." I hear it a LOT.

I am not saying that's the reason attendance is down. But you're very naive if you think it's not a contributing factor.
