re: Student attendance at games

families have largely been priced out of football games. The schools made a lot of money by raising ticket prices but they also catered to middle aged and older people with money. Young kids didn't attend football games like they did when I was young, so they haven't grown up with the same kind of loyalty toward teams. In the old days, if dad wanted to see the game, he would have to go and would take his family to the game.

A lot of this makes sense. The buying power for hundreds of millions of Americans is all but lost. It was going on long before the inflation crisis. Working folks have to put more of their paychecks towards child care, groceries, gasoline, home goods etc… Thank the corporations and the tv executives for high ticket prices
