Maybe it has something to do with population redistribution in Arkansas. NWA has grown tremendously, and counties in south and east Arkansas have actually diminished in population. The 'center' of population in Arkansas has shifted dramatically toward the northwest.

A problem with this hypothesis is that counties in central Arkansas have also grown significantly, and there should be more than enough people in Pulaski county by itself to fill a 50,000 capacity stadium.

Eastern Arkansas is still hemorrhaging popuation, but there are still more people in the Central Arkansas area than there were in 2000.

Its anecdotal, but I know myself, and some die-hards, who used to go to LR games, no longer bother.

Its part protest, part just being jaded with the whole experience.
