The Suburbs do help us land some teams and help grow our market. Round Rock Express and the Texas Stars and Texas Spurs both do pretty good in the suburbs. I doubt that many people from much of Austin go to a game though.

Express average game attendance is been down in a big way since 2019. Down 50%.
Would be curious to see other teams attendance figures over time.
I loved when Express came online in 2000. Easy drive to the stadium was 20-25 minutes on Saturdays versus driving down to San Antonio to see the Missions which we did a lot in the 1990s.
I've only been to one Express game since pandemic. Ticket hikes left and right and now 35 construction, congestion and added concern about safety. Plus the huge growth in population and development on that drive makes it less fun now.
