Ultimately, it's up to the team to do better to get fans in seats.  As a PA guy I can tell you that the Pittsburgh Pirates have an awesome stadium and fireworks and gimmicky fun stuff in between innings, concerts after games, giant jumbotron stuff, and so on and so forth and people who attend those games seem more interested in who wins the perogi race rather than the game itself.  Then again, the Pirates haven't won a playoff series in 29 years, so thems the breaks.  I can also name all of the perogi mascot racers and roughly 0 players who played for the Pirates in the past decade.

Good on Elizabeth, but geez this stuff is still 20+ years behind schedule compared to other professional sports franchises.  I'm not trying to be negative so much as I'm a little intrigued that people are so blown away that the Bengals have finally reached the year 2001 in terms of stadium bells and whistles.
