re: Will we see stadiums jam packed on a consistent basis

No.

Attendance has been falling for years.

Hell, Nick Saban has to yell at the students to come to the game and stay, and Alabama wins the title every year.

Add to that that the players are now pro athletes. You have to donate $10,000 for the honor of buying tickets, $25 parking, overpriced concessions, ever-shrinking seats, etc, and it is too expensive for families and not really worth it for the experience.

I go watch Sewanee play when I go to live games. Nice drive up into the mountains, park two minutes from the field, volunteer donations to the Boy Scout troop for parking, no admission to the game, beautiful campus, $1 hot dogs, and a fun experience.

Kicks the shite out of SEC football if you want a relaxing experience and don't care about the level of football being played.
