Bad economy + lockout + losing team does not = fans eager to support/spend money. Pretty simple.

I used to go to spring games at OU but have stopped recently, just too hot and honestly not that exciting.

Exactly. I've been to a few Skins training camps, a Jets (last year we waited 2 hours for the green/white scrimmage to start, left 20 minutes in because the bar seemed more fun), Bills... and they're just not interesting and its 100* out there. The only time I've ever really said wow that was fun after camp was the year I got to cover it, and when I was a kid and just chased autographs.

Maybe if the players didn't require all their practices to be out of pads, and there was some hitting and all that, people would be more interested...

I also think the lack of time to plan probably hurt peoples desire to go as well. Very few people I think can just pick up and go.
