Even when the game itself is great, it's still not fun

I think most of CP members are getting to the age where it feels this way.
Also young people these days are looking for shorter, quicker entertainment fixes. They're glued to their phones and looking at different things every 5-10 seconds.
As a generalization, I bet a 20 year old Flames fan now has a very different capacity to go watch a hockey game than we did at 20.
Asking them to commit 4-5 hours to anything is awful to them.
Cost problems on top of that & I can't see the new generation of young adults picking up the tickets to live sports we used to. This will only get worse.
