Do any of you see a BIG drop in fans SHOWING spirit? Be it NFL or NCAA?

Here in Jacksonville, I have noticed a HUUUGE drop off in fans showing excitement about football. In the 90s...early 90s especially, you'd see TONS of car flags for the Gators, Noles and even Dawgs of UGA. When Jacksonville got the Jags, there used to be Jag stuff EEEEEVERYWHERE. On NCAA game days or NFL Sundays, you could walk into a grocery store and see all kinds of folks wearing jerseys and tees. Jacksonville is a HUGE US Navy town with two large bases. There used to be fans of all sorts of teams also. Not anymore.Now it's rare. Tomorrow, my Gators play a HUGE game vs Bama in The Swamp (I'LL BE THERE!!!!) I ran some errands this morning and mine was the ONLY car with Gator flags.....any flags. There USED to be a time that you could FEEL the buzz before a big game in Gainesville. Not anymore. I even find Sports Bars (Like I posted before) to be quite boring. A few fans into Fantasy Ball but that's it. IT'S A DRAG!!!!!!!!!
