Yes, it is pathetic. But you guys have to realize that people on the west coast aren't as nuts about sports. And Seattle is a pretty big bandwagon town. Nobody in this city ever went to Mariner games until 95 when they made the playoffs for the first time ever. And unfortunately the Hawks have had an up and down season (much like your beloved Lambs), so the average fairweather fan isn't very into the team. And in Seattle we have to have those bandwagon jumpers aboard to sell games out. The thing that really hurt was after the day that tix went on sell the Hawks and the NFL released a bunch more, about 6,000. Most of which were ultra-expensive luxury seats that corporations declined to pony up for. There aren't too many people around that have that type of $$$ that are into the Hawks that aren't already going to the game.

As for fans giving up on a team due to an up and down season, what's up with your board? It used to be almost as active as the board at Seahawks.net where I post, but now it's almost a morgue. It takes forever for people to respond to posts and the same threads sit on the front page all day. Not to knock anyone reading this, you are the diehards and deserve credit, but it seems that the rest of Ram nation isn't too sold and gave up on the team a tad bit prematurely.
