I would call that plummeting. Maybe it just a slight variation to you, I dunno. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/writer/jon-solomon/24891415/college-football-attendance-home-crowds-drop-to-lowest-in-14-years Per that article, it's UP 2% over 14 years ... skyrocketing it is.

Um, lowest in 14 years is up 2%? That is some strange math. My bad, though. It is actually down 7% since 2009. I'm sure it is still skyrocketing using your math. http://www.wsj.com/articles/at-college-football-games-student-sections-likely-to-have-empty-seats-1409188244 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ratings per conference for last season were flat for everybody except the SEC, who's ratings numbers actually went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Um, lowest in 14 years is up 2%? That is some strange math. 2000 Attendance = 42,631 2014 Attendance = 43,483 You do the math ... My bad, though. It is actually down 7% since 2009. I'm sure it is still skyrocketing using your math. 2008 Attendance = 46,456 2014 Attendance = 43,483 It's down 6.4% since 2008, 6 years, which comes out to a drop of a little over 1% a year ..... again, down but hardly plummeting. One can play with numbers and usually make them say want you want them to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The overall consensus according to reports and studies is CFB attendence is trending down. Are there exceptions and people who find loopholes? Yes.

How does that makes sense? Unless you're implying that the drop in ratings were the extra 2000 people per game which wouldn't actually affect ratings in any noticeable way. There isn't a correlation between attendance and ratings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bathrooms at RJS have fallen off in the past seasons. Hot and smelly, and the stench is a side effect of it being too hot in the batrooms. Does it cost the TSA that much to run the A/C in those bathrooms? The public WiFi at RJS is pretty pathetic. It is next to impossible to establish a connection, and when you do, you get zero throughput. If "world class" NFL stadium cannot get its act together, how can anyone expect the college stadiums to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
