Is that the normal crowd now?

Is that the normal crowd now?

Jeff Lund owns it.  Your answer lies there.

The game was on a Tuesday night, so those nights are not attended well, and then being the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, it was probably a little lighter.

Used to be back when the hockey games got started back up for at least three seasons, even weeknight game tickets were difficult to get.  Back when there was a competitive team here.

I miss the days when we had that 100% capacity attendance.

20 years ago, the crowds were great.

20 years ago, the crowds were great.

20 years ago, we had a championship team.  Tulsa is a fickled town.  There aren't that many true sports fans.  They are mainly fair-weather friends as far as sports are concerned.  They'll go watch a team win, but few are fans enough to show up even when the team is down.
There are a lot of people that go to games as a social outing, to be seen.  I see them walking around during the game, talking, running up and down aisles, when it is clear that they aren't even paying attention to the game.

I must have a beer in my hands at all sporting events.  If I can't justify the cost of tickets, parking, beer, assorted foods, then I don't go.  I've not been in at least 5 years.  It's just gotten pricier than I can justify.

I show up early so parking is free for me.
I rarely eat at a game, if I can help it.  The food is beyond pricey.
