of going to games, it’s hard to get them back. That’s what happened with me. Once I stopped going I found other things to do and got used to watching games from the comfort of my home. If a game goes poorly I can just turn it off instead of having invested my whole Saturday. I almost went to the Maryland game, but in the end just decided it wasn’t worth the hassle. It’s hard to get started again.
And UCLA has done a poor job of cultivating new fans, so they need people like me.
If we can do better I do see myself going to games again at some point. But I think the attendance issue is a long road back. For a while we told ourselves that we were just in a down cycle, but now I think most fans see this as a permanent state of affairs.
