Attendance everywhere is declining, even in the NBA, because the back rows of large arenias have difficulity competing with TV. Seats built in the 60s and 70s, at distance, competed with radio in most all cases. And yes, the seats above the concourse have difficulity competing with TV with all but a few games. TV also is much more efficient developing income. Nothing to get excited about. I expect it will settle in still lower as my generation is replaced by the next with ever changing culture and preferences.
It is a difficult balance to be a fan with high interest in the sport without being ‘that guy’ that is loosing it if your team is in the bottom half of the league. Focus on the details, focus on the just how things change at the individual level game to game. No reason for one team to be happy at the end of the season, a couple of teams satisified, and most the teams upset. We do that to our selves. I prefer the seasons we are at the top, but I have and will go about enjoying the seasons when it is a struggle. Possibly, the great seasons are better for those that ride the wave from way out than for those attracted to a successful run. Find a healthy way to get thru disappointment. If you try coaching you might find they work much harder in unsuccful years and some of the biggest accomplishments come in those years.
