re: Why Attendance is Down at Football Games

My mom refuses too now. She had season tickets for years but they got too expensive now she won't do it. I do take her to a game once a year but I pay. She has paid for enough in my life she deserves a treat. I just made my mom sound like a puppy at the end there.

Same story here. Except it was during the Jim Donnan years, so my parents weren't getting their money's worth for the entertainment either. But they gave up as prices and hassle kept getting higher and higher.

I like the baby boomer angle.

When the boomers start dying off, there aren't going to be millions of upper middle class alumni to pay thousands of dollars for seats, and these schools are going to be shucked at fudpuckers for their greed.
