This would be a very good point.Hey Teddyballgame,
I wish I had some good advice for you. It sounds like some folks have had success with getting spectator draws to thier games. That's awesome.
The just win thing, yeah. That alone isn't the answer. 5 state championships in softball and 4 state championships in baseball in the last decade. The only people that show up to the games are the families, siblings and a few non-related fans. Football and basketball for both genders have a good turn out of spectators and haven't had a 500 season in the same time. Go figure.
A friend did point out that since the football and basketball games are later in the evening going to those games means dumping the parents and hanging out with friends even if it is at the school. Softball and baseball games are right after school, so attending a game there means giving up the home alone time unsupervised before the parents get home. It suddenly makes more sense why students don't hang out to watch the softball/baseball teams play and ride the activity buses home after the games.
