It's more than just a bad team Archived Message Posted by Cunativeson on May 18, 2022, 15:49:10, in reply to "2017 was probably around 110k" And I think you know that but you gotta do what you gotta do. I appreciate the insight in the numbers. It'll be interesting to see if they can maintain any wait list in the future until they change things up. Not sure the owners care that much, I suspect what they've done outside of the stadium is bring in enough to offset any ticket losses.
