Are we sure more people will show up this season?

If they're an exciting team and win more games, attendance will be better after the first of the year.

People act like attendance is a monetary thing only. I think there is more to it. Players are more motivated by bigger crowds. Large crowds help win close games. Free agents and draft picks are more attracted to a place where fans are passionate etc.

I agree.

This "sweep it under the rug" mentality regarding attendance is worrisome.

I don't think anyone (at least not this guy) is sweeping anything under the rug. I just think it's not an issue after two home games and we won't have a read on it until much later in the season. I just don't see the point of these threads right now.

ETA: three home games
