They don't necessarily have to win a championship to pull the kids back in, but they definitely need to be in the thick of things.. Perennial last place teams don't usually attract a lot of young fans.
In itself, 29 years isn’t that long. When you couple that with being 30 games under .500 for several years in a row, that 29 year old Championship doesn’t do that much for a fan base.
