Drink’s job just got harder now that the Chiefs have won the Super Bowl and have the makings of a multiple champion and the Cards are, well, the Cards. It’s going to be interesting.

Idk, thats a common argument, but I also think just as easily does it get fans excited about football in general.

The attendance gets fixed when fans know theres a good chance of winning. I know that sounds generic, but fans dont like driving 4 hours to a game that is a toss up. It is what it is.

In the meantime, drink up

We had the Rams and Chiefs a few years back and averaged over 60k fans in Faurot.

right. I like most just dont want to commit to traveling, paying, and possibly staying, for a team that is just meh. When we were cruising thru the east, every game felt like we had a good chance of winning, and it showed in the stands.

Which is why MO needs to heavily invest in the hyperloop. Much better than the plodding Amtrak.

While the Hyperloop would be awesome, im still upset Amtrak doesnt go thru Columbia. That makes a lot more sense, plus it would be great for college students not wanting to have a car.

In the olden days, the Moberly depot was the closest to CoMo.

It's not going to be interesting and it's not affecting anything.

As cool as the hyperloop would be, it ain’t happening in our lifetimes.

Football attendance isn't a problem. Football attendance when we are 8n the SEC is a problem. If we were in any other conference, are attendance numbers would be solid. Odom really pissed away a real opportunity in 2019. Mizzou crowds should be mid 60's.

It isn't hard at all if the AD gets wise and focuses on KC/STL for the luxury suites and focuses on local families for the rest of the regular bleacher seating inside the stadium.

The AD has completely pushed away local fans for basketball and football. Attendance will never be what it was for mediocre Mizzou football unless that changes. Of course if we become a top 10 team, attendance won't be an issue.
