There's certainly a big spike following 1996. Post-2005 is interesting; the median crowd (50% of games had that crowd or less) rises in 2006, but then drops right down in 2007. You can also see that in 2007, the median line is way down at the bottom of the box. That's because the data are skewed by big crowds at ANZ. The 3 ANZ games in 2007 all pulled in more than 60000, whereas the SCG games were all around the usual 25000 or so.
I think we're seeing a steady and less-skewed rise post-2012; 2014 is of course incomplete just now.

What people also need to understand is that the cost of tickets and memberships had gone up and it's probably one of the most expensive in the country. If somebody has any stats they might compare the price rise of the tickets with the attendance drop. They might match.
I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time
