Keep telling yourself that, Mr. Kraft.
LOL. It's just a theory. There were a couple of matches early in the year that I wanted to bring my daughters to, but the weather just didn't cooperate.
In the past, yes. But this year, they had a REALLY front-loaded home schedule. As a result, after tomorrow (when we're expecting biblical thunderstorms), they only have 4 home games left. Unless they draw over 30K each game (which isn't happening), it's not going to be enough to move the needle.
The fact that the schedule was so front-loaded and the weather so poor to start the year actually makes it more likely in my mind that the last four home games will draw very well.
Again, the bigger concern for me is the product on the field right now. They've cut their payroll by probably 25% compared to last season. They're trading away players for allocation money, and then they're not spending the allocation money. Claude Dielna's the only Designated Player on the roster, and he barely qualifies.
If they don't win tonight in horrid conditions, I don't see how they stay in the playoff race.
