Can We Talk About The Empty Stadiums in the NFL?

[boskey]

I got to games mainly cuz I got a hookup who gets me the league owned seats for 100 a ticket, which is a pretty good deal.

But when I go, I don't pay nearly the same attention to the actual game. You can barely tell whats going on. The only reason I go is to tailgate and drink in public the daytime. Its more about the atmosphere than the game...

Bunch a broke ass faggets talkin about there aint nothing to do during commercials and timeouts. Gtfoh. Ol i can change the channel so i dont have to watch the 400th budlight commercial..yall know how many fine ass bytches are at an nfl game? aint no one with a brain NOT having fun at an nfl game.

I have season tix and wouldnt trade that shyt for anything, i have a fukkin blast at every game. Yall dudes is bunch of bytches im glad u scared faggets aint at the games..yall would bring the swag levels down with your soft ass bullshyt.

This shyt blows my mind too. If you perfer watching at home over going to a game and watching live with some friends, youre either a broke jackass or extremely antisocial....going to sports life (money aside) IS BETTER than not watching live. When you add money factor yeah maybe it gets closer but no, live sports >>>>>> tv unless its RAINING.

TV is too good and the NFL has become a home sport.

With FF and the Ticket, it's hard to encourage people to drop about $200 a head to go watch a game they can see better on TV.

I`m a firm believer in going to games though, there is nothing like the feel of a live crowd reacting to everything. I make every 49ers games vs. NY teams (no Buffalo) in the last10 years

 

[Mr swag]

why pay 100 for nosebleed to freeze in the cold????

 

[thelonious21]

paying HUNDEREDS per seat is craziness.. unless your like FRONT ROW.. it should be upper level and shyt like that for UNDER 60 .. but most stadiums.. nose bleed are 99+

no one is talking about SPORTS though, this thread is about football. the sport where

1. 10% of the time the ball is actually in play, the rest are replays and commercials(which the crowd dont see)

2. most expensive prices in all sports

3. so how much are the tickets for you and your boys gonna cost? 500? 600? oh, you dont want the last row?

as much as i loved sitting front row for a sunday night game after Christmas in New Jersey & watching my team win back a few years ago......i don't know if i wanna do that again.

 

[malbaker86]

Watching NFL at home is way better than going to the games.

Now college football? You gotta go to those if you have the chance to

CFB>>>>>>>NFL game experience

 

[tru_m.a.c]

I paid 150 for my giants vs jets tickets last year....QUALITY seating....but I'd never pay for a game that wasn't a rivalry type/playoffs on the line game

fukk I look like paying for a bucs vs giants game

nikka I'd rather go to the bar and watch that bytch...same type of fans....good looking females and happy hour beers on sunday??? fukk is y'all talking about!?!?

8.75 for a fukkn beer....I can get pitchers of long island's cheaper than that
5 beans for a hotdog??? nikka please

fukk outta here with that broke talk

maybe I'm spoiled though....compared to Beaver stadium, football stadiums are pretty underwhelming when you throw in all the fukkn little kids and families

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

Not a money thing for me....I'd rather not waste a day watching one game when there's sooooo much to on Sundays.

 

[We Ready]

Hold up



Did this dude just say that people don't go because there is no HD?



shyt is real life. It don't get more high definition that that.




However, I do agree that watching at home > watching at the stadium.

 

[EducatedBrothaFromTheBank]

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

i didnt say anything about last week, im speaking in general... they always have empty seats... they dont support the NFL in the South.

Panthers have a awful fan base, i say move them to L.A.

no way that happens

edit: Also the NFL really needs to bring its ticket prices down for the average fan. im not talking about nose bleeds im talking all over the stadium. actually all sports do. especially in the current economy. shyt if they were smart they would advertise this it would be great PR for them.

question for the okc fans you guys have a great environment at your games are the tickets prices there lower than the rest of the leagues?

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...

Ralph Wilson stadium been there since 1973 breh

Can't compare al city like buffalo to Pittsburgh as well

Not when it's 20 degrees outside, unless you white. I love going to football games, but after Halloween I'm good watching on a tv
