just win baby!

also, I'm sure we're all in agreement that if the economy was better, then there would be more people.

how about another metric?  has anyone collected data on our TV ratings and tracked them?  I'd be interested to see if people are tuning into us or the other FL teams.

Tampa area usually lacks support regardless of economy. The Rays have never gotten constant fan support. When they made World Series they didn't get fan support until they already reached playoffs....

Support and Attendance are separate issues.  I support the Rays, but do not have the time nor the finances to drive over to St Pete multiple times a month.

Much like the Rays or the Jags, USF football as an infant and it will take more than 15 years to become rooted in the area.  We're still about 10-15 years out from having the first true generation of fans that were born and raised as Bulls fans making a significant impact. That's not to say that those before football or those in the early years aren't making an impact. If that makes any sense.

I 100% agree with these comments. How many showed up to the Bucs game on Sun? They may all get blacked out this season.

I added a seat this year, but it's hard for me to get to every game living out of town esp... night games where most of the time I need a hotel room.
