I could be wrong but I think a factor in it is many people buying tickets don't give a damn about the game on the field but are there as a social event. They go, snap some pics, post on all their social media accounts that they were there then head home halfway through the game or to the next social gathering.
This has always been the case. Season tickets have been a status symbol in Baton Rouge for decades - long before the team was winning anything on a regular basis.
The fact is that people have so many entertainment options these days (live and otherwise) - it's hard to dedicate their attention to one single event for an entire day.

I gave up my season tickets after 15 years this season because it's just too damn easy to watch from my air conditioned house and recliner and not fight the heat, traffic and drunks. My sons have used them the past two years and they didn't even want to keep them. I keep saying technology is going to be the end of our society and it is slowly but surely taking its toll. Watch the stands and see how many people stay on their phones the entire game. It's the look at me crowd. Screw the game. I'm here.Selfie, Selfie. Give me the old days, a radio and John Ferguson and a little imagination of what's going on on the field. Those were true Saturday nights in Death Valley.
