It's Got To Get Better... KC Renegades

As I stated in my first review of the KC Renegades, the team needs to have a winning season to attract back the fans that they've lost over the past several years with the loss of the Brigade, then the fiasco called the Command.  But as we come out of week three, the Renegades finally pull in their first win against Oklahoma, who came into the match sporting a standing of 1-1.  Now the Renegades are 1-2, and while things seem to be looking up, the team is getting ready to face off the top team in the league, the Wichita Wild, who are currently 4-0.

I decided to take a look at the stats for the past two games, one point of interest was how many people are attending the game.  I find this a point of curiosity since the stands look pitifully empty, and I couldn't help but shake my heads as I noticed that the team is not reporting their attendance to the league, or at least, the attendance is not being reported publicly.  That's scary since the week two game, away, attendance was reported by Sioux City Bandits (which was under 5,000 fans).  

Interesting tidbit to think about as we look forward to the weeks ahead.  The owner of the KC Renegades was also involved in the ownership of the KC Command, according to an article I found in a Philadelphia article about the AFL.  Reflecting back on the pitiful talent that the Command worked with, there is little to bring hope that this team will be handled any better than the previous endeavors.  With that said, I'm going to sit back and wait to see how the season shakes out.  But let us consider the talk on the street about the future of Kemper Arena, and the fact that no team is going to survive in KC without more than a couple of thousand fans supporting it.
