Build it and they will come. I know, a stupid movie theme, but affordability may be part of it, but we will always have empty seats for USF, UConn, or whoever else may not be viewed as a big game. Do you really think the big house is full for Central Michigan? As for leaving early during the USF fame, I stayed but I was freezing my ass off, so I was suprised that more people didn't leave. I used to have season tickets to the Detroit Red Wings, which was one of the toughest tickets to get in Detroit and a great atmosphere, and it was amazing how many people arrived late and left early. 10 minutes left and a tie score and you would see people leaving. Plane to catch, I guess.
BUT, we now know that we will have at least a couple big games every year that will sell 60,000 plus tickets. Recruits will be brought in to a tremendous atmosphere and the foundation for a solid program gets harder and harder. The not-so-big games will have empty seats and deals will be offered to those folks that normally could not afford to go. Money will be made, the program will get better, the Cardinal Nation will grow, and it will all be good.
