Attendance has been a trending issue in college football over the last few seasons. Stadiums are no longer selling out and teams are struggling to bring fans to the game. Obviously the opportunity cost of going to a game has increased. Many fans have to travel and while they have to cover travel costs such as gas, flights, and hotels they also to pay for expensive tickets and parking passes.
It’s a lot. Personally, I live 200 miles away from Auburn and being a 25 year old I usually try to crash with any friends I have remaining in town (and there aren’t many left).
