Can We Talk About The Empty Stadiums in the NFL?

[The Antagonist]

I payed $150 for a second to last row seat at the Jets vs. Cowboys Sunday Night opener last year. Plus 10 bucks for a beer. It's ridiculous, but I can handle it cause I go to maybe one game every couple years considering my team plays in another city.

Like someone else said, these teams need to stop putting Stadiums in the middle of no where. The stadium in Pittsburgh is in the city.. it's not hard to get to. When I went to Buffalo I had to split a cab with three people I never met before to get from Buffalo to Orchard Park...

My homie was telling me he was trying to get a box for a corporate event for the Patriots/Jets game.

Said dude quoted him $21,000 for 15 people.

Food and alcohol not included.

The dude who said the resellers has a point. The Titans have sold out every game since they went to Nashville, but there were plenty of empty seats when I went to the season opener.

Cosign. Medolands gotta be the worst location for anything never mind 2 football teams. Harrison prob doesn't have enough space for a stadium but if they torn down some of those abandoned buildings in Newark that would've been the comeup. If they can give the illusion to white people that they are safe Newark could be a great city

Yea but Sharpe James had to move heaven and earth to convince investors to even build that arena. I mean that area, is super dangerous, I'm talking getting stabbed and robbed in broad daylight dangerous. It took dude like 5 or 6 years to get that off the ground. Though it would be sick to the Giants in downtown Brick City, but unlike some of these other teams, Giants tickets are pretty much sold out till like 2020 or some ridiculous year.

Who wants to sit there two hours while the commercials go on? Even if I had the money to go to a football game, I wouldn't.

shyt, I got offered two free tickets to the Rams/Skins game yesterday and passed on them to grill, drink, and watch the games at the crib...i figured that would be more fun than fukking with parking and high ass concession grub at the dome, and I'd prolly get a better viewing experience than being at the game depending on where the seats were (didn't even ask, figured it'd be rude to ask where the seats were when they offered to me for the free)....I miss the college football tailgate experience, I know it's kinda similar for some pro teams but not so much here

was listening to ESPN radio last week and dude was talkin about the NFL's attendance problem. I've been noticing this for a minute as well.

These teams are failing to draw.. only 75% capacity or less...

-Jacksonville
-Carolina
-Miami
-Tennessee
-Tampa Bay
-San Diego (today's game had like 70% capacity)
-Cincinnati
-Cleveland
-Rams
-Chiefs
-Bills
-Arizona (season opener had only 59k)
-Raiders

All garbage ass teams by the way..

You're seeing it in all sports. Owners are out pricing their core fanbase for corporate fans. On top of all the time spent on commercials now, you have a lot more down time between actually game play.

St home I can watch every damn game. If I go to say watch the bills by the time I get home and from crossing the border I'll be missing the 4pm games as well.

Who cares about attendence

All the $$ is in tv

Eventually some teams will give out tickets for free

The nfl blackout rule is gonna be gone pretty soon

 

[brooklynsfate]

shytty seats, no HD, public restrooms, parking, driving etc...

Watching the game at home in front of a 60inch LED tv with your own food, bathroom, DVR >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Going to a stadium and dealing with drunk ignorant shyt heads

This dude speaks the truth. Overall ticket prices are overpriced and you get nothing from it.

either you or ESPN got their facts wrong. Panthers didn't play at home last week and yesterday drew a crowd of 72,879, their staduim holds 73,778

and were 6th in attendance last year
