I honestly don't know what you are talking about but I really doubt it's due to the commentators that people aren't coming to skating in the US.
And they do go to Nats.
Going to competitions is enormously expensive, you know. It's not just the tickets. I am not poor, but between airfare, event tickets, hotel, meals, time, and pet or child care, you have to be pretty well-off and have a lot of leisure to go to these things. I think the recession has been worse in the US than Canada too. We did buy tix for the only international event in the last few years that was close enough for us to attend. (They don't seem to like the E. Coast for some reason.) Unfortunately hubby got sick and we couldn't use them. It's so much easier to watch on TV or IN.
