The sky isn't falling.
Attendance is down across the board.
HDTV, plus weeknight, plus inflated prices means the people most likely to buy the worst seats (which are all that's available) are staying home. I called at 9 a.m. on the Cougar Club only date, and the best seats I could get were 20 rows up in Section 134, meaning the entire lower bowl, and most of the grandstand seats between the 30s were sold out a day before single game tickets were available to the general public.
