Jags have been respectable over the last 10 years and people still don't go to their games. I went to a Lions game last week against the Jets and it was "technically" sold out. Lions fans haven't had a winner in years and they still go to the games. If the city can't get behind a winning team, then they probably aren't a big enough market to deserve it.
That being said, player salaries have driven tickets prices to astronomical levels. For me to bring my wife and 2 kids to a game with food, parking, souvenirs, etc it is going to cost over $100 person even if we are sitting in the nosebleed seats. I think this is the biggest issue in terms of attendence. For the same price, that person could buy a 42" inch HD plasma TV at Best Buy this weekend and watch every game this season from their couch on a nice TV. Which do you think it better value?
