The Command Drop Another One

After jumping out to a nice half time lead, the Command were outscored in the third and fourth quarters by Dallas.  But its not the losses on the field that Command fans need to be concerned about, its the steady drop in attendance at the games.  Attendance for the Dallas game?  3,502.  How long do you think that the Command are going to survive in Kansas City if they can't find a way to market themselves and get people once again excited about Arena Football in Kansas City?  I am starting to get concerned that the Command may be a one and out in the AFL if they don't start bringing in the fans, and in order to bring in the fans, they have to do two things ...  (1) START WINNING; and (2) come up with some ticket packages that will bring in the people who have been sitting back, scratching their heads or saying ... "it isn't worth the hassle of going downtown."

Their next home game may be the start of Sprint's realization that their ticket sales program isn't working.  Mother's Day ... Command host the New Orleans VooDoo ... Tickets purchased online are 35% off.  Just enter the word "FAN" in the box when ordering, or something like that.  You need to go to the Command's facebook page to find the information.

Will I be taking advantage of his attempt to bring fans in?  Well, not for the VooDoo, but if they make me a similar or better offer for tickets to see the Chicago Rush come to KC (June 4th), then I might consider be tempted to endure the experience of Sprint Center and the KC Power and Light District/Standard Parking Nightmares.

Yeah, I know.  I've been really down on the Command this season.  I was excited when the news broke that the "Brigade" were returning to Arena Football, but no one told us the rest of the story.  I can remember when the games were FUN!  That all went away, and now all I can hope for is that the owners wake the hell up and start working at bringing back the fans who felt and fell abandoned and stop letting the people at AEG and Cordish backrupt them so that they can make their money.

Attendance at Home:

1 - Iowa:      5,438  (W)
2 - Arizona:  4,166   (L)
3 - Dallas:     3,502  (L)

And they have 4,889 Fans on their Facebook Page at the time I published this article.  That should tell them something.
