[QUOTE="Purp, post: 2432536, member: 12852"] I disagree with this a bit. I don't think it's a problem specific to our fans. I think it's more a phenomenon brought on by the advent of affordable premium TVs and outstanding video quality from games. And so many channels made portable by tailgate satellite antennae means multiple games can be watched at home or at a tailgate rather than just the one in the stadium. The same thing is also affecting movie theaters. 20 years ago the game watching experience was better in the stadium. Now? For the older generations it still is, but for the younger generations it's not as clear cut. And after the reno of AGC it became more difficult for groups of friends to have adjacent tickets so watching at a tailgate can solve that problem too. It may sound absurd, but younger generations may also like leaving for cell phone access. Wi-Fi and cell signals are awful in AGC and they may stay at tailgates longer just to continue to be able to tweet and snap. I've noticed lots of empty seats at UT and other big state U games while watching on TV and it happens during close games and blowouts. [/QUOTE]
