1. Locate the arena next to your fanbase, which means relocating it to either KC or St. Louis

2. Make the attendance experience compelling enough that students and locals feel they have to be there.


Both of those are not possible, so its not a solvable problem. We are going to continue to have attendance issues and poor atmosphere.
