College football attendance has quietly been declining for a number of years.
Students are less interested, tickets and parking are much more expensive and jacked sky high for bigger games, and there’s much less tolerance for tailgating.
Big screens and beer at home or at the sports bar. Death to stadium audience participation. Buh-bye.
I would also say that the fact that unless your favorite team is one of about 8 names, there’s no way you are going to make the playoffs. The best teams are the best teams pretty much every year. If you are Ole Miss, what is the point? You can be really good but you’re still going to the Poulan Weedeater Bowl. Sorry.
Its just not worth the expense to attend a college game. I used to attend games in the 90’s and I got married and we had kids and my money and attention went elsewhere. I still watched games on tv.
Currently college football is my go to in the fall especially the SEC. I haven’t watched the NFL in two years and haven’t missed it for a second. Their days are numbered as they seem to think that millennial’s are their future when college numbers show they don’t care about football.
