I've noticed for a while that there are a lot of empty seats at Moda, and the energy definitely isn’t what it use to be. Our crowd support has fallen off a cliff for awhile now. Have you noticed that too? What could be the reasons for this?
The team is fucking boring dude. We're still smack on that treadmill. It's extremely hard to get excited about a team that's not going anywhere.
I don't know about anyone else but after the last couple years being in large crowds isn't a big attraction....cough, cough...sniffle...sneeze....
Man, everybody in the fast food restaurant was coughing yesterday. Couldn’t wait to get the heck out of there. It has been since Covid that the crowd has seemed smaller, so I think you are on to Something there.
I've lost interest in live events for the most part. After the covid isolation I got used to not really caring that much as before. Also we were programmed to stay away from people as they are germ farms, so interactions with strangers is less desirable. Plus everything is more expensive and the whole of experience of going out isn't as intriguing as before especially with crime and homelessness seemingly worse and a not so great economy.
This season, I've been to two games. Both had tons more energy than the past two years (which isn't surprising.)
I think moda center has ruined the experience. I’ve been a club level season tickets holder for 5 years. They took out the $30 credit for each ticket and they snuck it in the season ticket rebewell email under “parking”…I was pissed
