The t-shirt fans are now moving on to what ever fad is next. True fans will be back when the prices adjust. 2 - NASCAR is losing its most popular drivers. Dale Jr., who seemed like he hardly ever won a race, was one of the most popular ever and is now retired.

As others have noted, college has its own issues - games too long, ticket prices, parking prices, concession prices, required donations, TV, traffic, etc.
I was at the Orlando International Airport the day after Dale Jr. died... lost of folks from Daytona were flying home...and the place was just desolate... it was as though a President had been assassinated.

I am not a NASCAR fan but growing up in Central Florida... even I understood that Dale's death was going to change NASCAR forever..and it did.

I have always loved sports and movies...but I have been conditioned by my phone, my job, my kids.. and I just don't have the time or attention span to sit for hours watch football or some movie.. even whne I do..i am scanning my phone or the internet..

the day of 80k at a football stadium is largely through...

attendance is down for all sports.. attendance numbers for baseball... hockey... football and basketball are down... MLS papers the house and still can't get butts in seats...

college sports... attendance is down..for all sports.

Check this site out. It is a trip. (a bad trip)

Empty Seats Galore...
