Chicageaux Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 A really interesting article that shows that the attendance of the 2012 is the lowest since 2003.http://www.al.com/sp...t_flyout_sportsThe crazy thing is, tickets are going to go up again next year as well. Schools don't learn that there is a maximum that you can charge for a football ticket.The simple thing to raise attendance is play quality OOC opponents.Until you start losing and then no one wants to attend your games because you're losing. It's not that simple, kid.It depends on the school. If you're a team like LSU or Ohio State, who are almost always going to have good teams, then you can take those risks, knowing that you'll most likely win. If you're a team like Iowa, who has been very inconsistent, then you might first want to make sure you can beat Central Michigan before you schedule someone like Oklahoma.Teams like LSU and Ohio State aren't having attendance issues. I can't speak for Ohio State, but at LSU people buy tickets and whether they come in from tailgating is another thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Ohio State isn't having any problem either. Heck, if it weren't for Ohio State fans, the numbers for the rest of the Big Ten would look worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other schools don't have that luxury. Why you make fun of me? I make concept for Auburn champions and you make fun of me.
