Just observing here.....

Probably one of the reasons there is almost no spectators in the stands when sportsman run at nationals is due to the time and day that the bulk of the rounds are run. Stock is out just after sun up and sportsman rounds are done by 10 am the days the pros run. Then the rounds resume after the pros are done for the day maybe even running after dark. One thing that might help with this is to change up the runnning order. Run a pro class then a sportsman class etc. maybe some would sit and watch. If you had some better sportsman announcers that could educate and make it interesting some new sportsman fans might be developed. But the way they are doing it now it won’t happen.
