Thats what happens when you're one of the worst teams in NFL history. We've improved but from 08 to 12 we were freakin terrible. I think in smaller markets you're more susceptible to this than if you're in a bigger market like NY or LA. Look at the Raiders. They've sucked forever and their fans show up.
Look at the Bills though; haven't been to the playoffs since the 90's, but their lowest average attendance (62694 in 2011) in the past 5 years is about 95% the sold-out capacity in St. Louis, despite St Louis having approx 1M more households in the blackout zone. Cold weather, no dome, no playoffs, better fan support.
