When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

Ticket prices are not high when you consider that it costs more to go out for a nice meal. The dome is not too small when there are often plenty of empty seats. As for "older fans", we have a hell of a lot more energy than the thousands of students who leave at halftime.

2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.

a Nice meal for two? I had to drop 200$ to get two single tickets for one fricken game this year (UC Davis $100 donation and 2 $52 tickets 4 rows from the top in the endzone).
The most I have EVER spent on a meal for 2 was 135$ after tip and it was at an actual, real life, 5 Star restaurant lol.
Dome is very likely too small as the GA tickets literally sell out in minutes each august and have done so for nearly an entire decade. this is irrefutable. There are empty seats from people who cant make the game or unsold Student tickets. Idk if anyone knows this but the average fan tries to get tickets in fricken August. No one plans an entire getaway weekend with their family based on the HOPE that there are 4 seats together and available by 8AM on gameday. Using that as your metric to measure overall demand is ridiculous and ignores reality completely.
You are right about the older fans having more energy than the students. No doubt. wasnt always this way, but it sure as hell is now

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
