I don't know, in the age where all games are broadcast in HD the venue plays a bigger role in drawing fans than ever before.
I am sure there are many people out there that would rather watch the game from the comfort of their own home than go sit on cold, hard, plastic seats for an 8PM start Stamps game in September.
For the Saddledome I think the product on the ice is a bigger determining factor for attendance, but I think for football the stadium does play a pretty big role in lower attendance even when the team is good.
