Not disputing the smaller numbers and seemingly declining interest, but I suspect the demographic you see during the week will change during the weekend. The over-60 crowd is probably mostly retired and can afford to be here during the week. Those under 60, unless they are willing to take vacation time during a week that is often of questionable weather, are probably working.
