LNBS: what Clark Hunt needs to do about the attendance decrease
 

Terez Paylor wrote a good article today about the Chiefs as seen here: https:

In the article, it highlights slight decreases in attendance.

It appears that the Chiefs (and the NFL) are fighting technology.

Here's what we know Clark has done:

1. Hired an elite caliber coach that has built a playoff caliber team every season.

2. Drafted an exciting QB to lead the franchise for years to come.

3. Renovated the stadium with new features including the fans "locker room club"as seen in the link below.

If you're Clark Hunt, what are you doing to add to this and get attendance into the top 5 again?

I'm going to raise parking fees to $60.

Win a Super Bowl.

Need to take out about 10,000 seats to be honest for our market size and how NFL stadiums are going.

.

Not play Alex Smith or any other retread quarterback. I know it's only a matter of time for this to take place.


Win Championships.

Be a playoff threat and contender, Not a playoff pretender for starters...

Trying to relive the glory years of one and done of the 90s with fat Andy isn't attractive...

But that was asked of him in the interview I posted, and he's obviously thought about it because he went right to tailgating a longer period and the experience. He talked about best practices from amusement parks like Disney and he's watching what the new stadiums have and how successful they are.

IMO If he really want a full stadium he needs to make it cheaper. Parking, tickets, concessions. If the overall price goes down, it opens the door to a much larger customer market, which IMO is pretty important in smaller markets.

But that's not what is going to happen. He's going to take out seats and put in suites.

Here is what I would do. Take out the upper level end zone suites. Make some sort of club or party pad in those locations.

He knows what the solution is, but he's too much of a ****ing cheapskate to do anything about it

Lower ticket and parking prices.

Honestly not sure much more he can do other than lower ticket prices.

It's more a reflection of a league wide problem rather than a Chiefs problem.

The Chiefs have signaled to everybody that they are trying to do this when they traded up for Mahomes.

Demand more than playoff losses.
