I could have been more than the lack of TVs, etc. A few years ago, I went to a college bowl game at the Cotten bowl in Dallas. This stadium was built in 1936. I had read that it was "More decrepit than the Colleseum in Rome", etc and had not believed this. However, it was pretty bad-the bathrooms were not working correctly and flooding, you could not reach the concession stands during halftime for the crowds in the small asles(Actually, the asles in the Roman Collesium were larger-I have been there on vacation) and your knees were in the back of the person in front of you. At the time, Oklahoma University and the University of Texas were threatening to leave(their fall football game is held there) unless something was done.
Luckily for the Cotten Bowl, quite a bit of money was spent restoring the stadium and it is still in use. Having not been there since the restoration, I do not know how they fixed the knee in the back issue.
You will have to ask the people in Indiana for the reasons that money was not found to restore the RCA bowl.
