what happened to the Blazers crowd?

I've lost interest in live events for the most part. After the covid isolation I got used to not really caring that much as before. Also we were programmed to stay away from people as they are germ farms, so interactions with strangers is less desirable.

Plus everything is more expensive and the whole of experience of going out isn't as intriguing as before especially with crime and homelessness seemingly worse and a not so great economy.

I think moda center has ruined the experience. I’ve been a club level season tickets holder for 5 years. They took out the $30 credit for each ticket and they snuck it in the season ticket rebewell email under “parking”…I was pissed

This. And it's nothing else no matter what anyone tells you.

100%.
There has been a steady decline in service and appeal while prices go up and lines last longer.

lets look no further than thier move to digital only payments and with parking and tickets only available via app.

This move has created a big bottleneck in seceral facets.
First parking:
Now i am either forced to dig onto my phone app illegally while driving so i have the parking pass ready when entering, or i have to pull up to the gate, then get my phone and dig up the ticket. This has created massive backups on interstate and drexler. Not to mention some parking lot entries have been closed on random games bottlenecking the other entries. its never been good traffic but its far worse than in the past now.
The blazers merger with Ticketmaster has allowed them an out to not be responsible and say its out of their control.
Bs. It was thier choice to go third party. When i became a season ticketholder i had a season card and a parking pass to hang from my review for the season.

Now lets go inside the moda where all payments are automated. I wont go into these details because the glitches are random and odd, like no tip option or no scanning of season holder discounts, cashiers not able to manually enter discounts, etc,
Less open concession stands, food is more for less, etc.

Vulcan Blazers have cut corners everywhere. Less mics on the floor for the natural noise is just one of many many declines in product.

i understand these changes have come during a massive inflation time, and i will say my rep has been great in lending an ear to grievances, but i don't see top brass giving a rats ass about the average fan complaint. I will likely hang my ticket up for someone else at the end of the season if i see the continual progression towards a less than adequate experience going to a game.

I've noticed for a while that there are a lot of empty seats at Moda, and the energy definitely isn’t what it use to be. Our crowd support has fallen off a cliff for awhile now.

Have you noticed that too? What could be the reasons for this?

I noticed it in the last home game, but not in the previous games. I thought maybe it was because it was a Tuesday night game with Dame, Kawai, and PG all out. The crowd seemed pretty good to me earlier in the season. I guess we will see tonight.

Man, everybody in the fast food restaurant was coughing yesterday. Couldn’t wait to get the heck out of there.

It has been since Covid that the crowd has seemed smaller, so I think you are on to
Something there.

There is a bad cough bug going around. My wife and daughter went to a birthday party just before Thanksgiving and got the cough a few days later. Lasted about a week or so. Just a cough and no fever or anything - weird.
