in recent years when I've gone to Mizzou games or Cardinals games not all that many young people there outside of the student section of Mizzou.

Seems like a problem with the business model maybe. Maybe we hit peak sports or something.

I know I used to be a huge consumer of it in high school, college and early 20's and gradually family, work and other stuff cut away at it.

And now I've been surprised that I can largely just not pay attention to it.
