attendance

Going to games used to be fun.

Then $5 parking became $50. Food/concessions/alcohol is expensive as the athletic department seeks to milk every penny of revenue out of it.

It's just not enjoyable to constantly feel ripped off.

You must not go anywhere if you think our concessions are expensive.

"Less than other places" does not mean "not expensive."

who gives a crap about concessions, do what robert does if it's that big of a deal

Can you imagine thinking, “I’d love to go drive a couple hours and go to this football game, but now it costs $20 for my Coke, hot dog and ‘chos instead of $14 like it did in ‘03. I think I’ll stay at home.”?

Saturday was the first game I have attended in 11 years.  I was blown away by how easily we found parking, found tailgate, got into the stadium, seats, etc...  I was a bit disappointed by the food options in the East side club level but whatever.  The seats were great. The gameday experience was VERY enjoyable. 

The game was dog crap though so I'll probably wait another 11 years. 

I did notice the stadium seemed about 2/3 as full after the half. Crowd looked good from my seats at kickoff.

Notre dame just ended a 273 game sellout streak.  People aren’t going to football games in the same numbers anymore. Millennials are killing yet another industry.

I think they're spending all their time and entertainment dollars on hating the "boomers"...   thus, no time for frivolous activities like cheering on the Cats in person.

 

Ok, Boomer

Right? If you're spending money on concessions anywhere, it's safe to say you aren't doing it to hunt for bargains.

We park in the campus lots for free and just walk over like cheap asses.

I honestly don't see myself ever going to a game again, what a hassle. No thanks

Going to games is infinitely more fun to me than watching them on TV. The sights! The sounds! The pageantry! The IRL 'tatergrape people-watching! Lighthearted but sometimes kinda serious jawing with opposing teams' fans!

Same. Going to Cats games is one of my very favorite things to do on this earth if I'm being honest. I just can't get enough of going berserk for the Cats in person. I love high-fiving my neighbors and getting as many people around me to go crazy too. Also, booing. I love booing.

I do miss the booing
