This is why its up to the fans to punish the organization when they're acting stupid. Sure ticket sales are probably a small fraction of the pot when overall revenue sharing with huge T.V contracts is factored in. Its the embarrassment factor, the shame, that will do the trick. Fans making the NFL look bad when theres a game and the stadium isn't popping off. Every bad team eventually has a primetime game, let the national folks start talking about how empty the stadium is and good ol Gayle is probably gonna get a call from someone in New York to have a "chat".
Why spend hard earned money to show up, sometimes days in advance if you're from out of state or even out of the region for an organization that really isn't moving mountains to get better? Fans get what they deserve at that point if you continue blindly supporting a bad product. Sometimes the only way to force the hand of something is to stop rewarding it. The Saints organization aren't entitled to your money if they're just gonna use excuse after excuse as to why this thing has been a failure for 2.5 seasons, with a half of the 3rd season to go.
