Wrong Ed. Football didn’t just become popular and gain Fan interest here, it’s been there since Commonwealth Stadium opened, I know I was there watching a perennial losing program draw top 30 crowds of 40k to 50k.August 14, 2022 maybe. Historically not even close.
the only thing new now is the winning which elevates excitement too but the fan commitment passion and desire for football has always been there. Kind of like Cub fans in baseball
