it doesnt take a rocket scientist to look around at our audience and see we could use an infusion of things that appeal to a younger demographic. if its loud crap then so be it. Old people have been complaining about young peoples music for about 60 years now.

You got to get em into the game first. Of course winning will help that. The fact that we are playing exciting bball also makes a difference.

I am sorry I will be dead when all you youngsters that complain about the older supporters are yourselves old and have to listen to the younger generation complain about you. Use a less broad brush and find solutions without blaming it on we old guys. We are going to support the team no matter what.

I'm still not a man, yet I feel like I'm still in your demographic.

Without the old timers, we would have nobody.. I am barely 40 and the Mavs games are too loud for me :lol:

The new building should feel totally different and surely we get a new videoboard in HD.

I agree we need good game presentation but if we went by age for decisions we would probably have a glitter ball in place of the scoreboard and BeeGees being piped in.

i am guessing i am close to your age mrydel - i am not complaining about old people - i am complaining about old people that don't get that we have to appeal to people younger then they are in order to stay relevant. Those old people are more old then wise.

just hoping to "staying alive"

I think everyone appreciates the support from the old timers, but its the younger folks that make the atmosphere a lot more lively, which hopefully translates to attracting new fans. Fans are fans and we all love the older alums

IMHO, drunk frat guys dont bring fans. Im all for lively fans like the guys who put red and blue paint all over them. The thing is like we all know and get beaten to death with..... beat big teams, brings in tons of fans.
