Down 7% over 14 years.  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.

 

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.

 

 

1% per year over six years isn't plummeting?

 

 

You be the judge ...

 

plum·met
ˈpləmət/
verb
 
1.
fall or drop straight down at high speed.
 

 

 

If I am to judge, yes.  For this topic, one percent per year is a very high speed.

 

 

So by that logic, if attendance was increasing by 1% it would still be a high speed  trajectory?  (1% of 40,000 is 400 by the way... basically that is about one section of stadium)

 

Maybe this also means that if USF goes 5-7 this year we are making a very high speed turnaround?  (25% more wins than 2014!!!)

 

 

Apples and oranges.  When you are talking about 120+ teams, the statistics are much more stable over time.

Not just the kids that would rather stay home. Same thing is happening in every sport, every demographic.  When every game is on your high def TV, it's a whole lot easier (and cheaper) to stay home an

That specific article did.  But we've been inundate with articles about overall attendence declines across the sport for years.    I'm not sure why you have decided to beat on slick for that.

So you lose 1 more game, it's nothing. You're down 1% in a poll and it gets chalked up to even when you factor in +/-. If it's attendance, it's catastrophic plummeting?

Um, ok.  Everything is fine, apparently.  

 

I feel better now.

Are you actually feeling bad worrying about those 400 fans?

I feel bad for those that wait until a problem is too bad to fix before they address it.
