Off topic but I have to disagree.
The stands are empty because people know the team is leaving. Their second season performance was abysmal yet Mile One was still "sold out" every night. As soon as the franchise switched to Montreal's minor league team, with a definite departure plan (3 years max), attendance started declining. Who wants to support a team that isn't planning to stay?
The three years as the Jets farm team easily showcased our ability to support a team.
Oh, and the economy crashing in 2014 didn't help.
