This is a fact. Dan Marino was a football God to virtually the entire state of Florida. We have a connection to Miami. Literally.

My dad has been here since the late 1970s. They were a transplant family, military brats out of Kansas, Missouri.

My dad was born a stone's throw from Arrowhead Stadium and could hear them cheering from his home as a boy before they moved to Virginia.

He was a Steelers fan all the way up until 1995. His dad and one of my aunt's was a Redskins fan. Most of my mom's family were Dolphins fans.

It'll take another deep rooted generation here. A younger generation to keep the team up in the decades to come. I think as our city grows. We'll grab more fans in the area.

I think the attendance stuff is over blown for the most part.

Winning a few games wouldn't hurt the cause, either. It's tough to form a fan base when they feel like they just got kicked in the nuts after every game, and doubly so when the team owner comes out and says you're getting more of the same after years of futility.

7 out of the last 8 years has netted double digit losses. Ownership has decided to spare the common denominator of those results for a 3rd time.

He's lucky they're not 32nd in attendance. Especially in this city where you're lucky to pull from 2M people within the area in a military town.
