Falcons, Texans, Jags, Ravens, Jets had nearly half empty crowds. Just a rough day or is this some protest stuff?

Why spend a few hundred to a thousand going to a game when I can stay at home and watch it on a beautiful television? Also, I don't have to put up with trashy NFL fans?

NFL hit it's peak already
Too expensive to go to games
70 inch tv at home
No bathroom lines
Fridge of beer
Good food

thats what happens when normal people cant buy tickets anymore and its only companies between the 30s. 45k psl license makes it where only a company can get it and they just give em away to people who dont care. atlanta also has lots of other places to stand (sideline, and multiple bridges to watch from) a restaurant where you can eat and watch the game too. but also atlanta fans suck so nothing new, we are out numbered in like 30% of games played.

This is also what happens when Stubhub buys a galatic shite ton of tickets to sell on the secondary market at inflated prices driving demand even lower.

the Falcons don't even sell out playoff games until the day before so it's not shocking that their stadium is empty for a regular season game

Skins stadium didn’t look too packed either and this is probably our most competitive team in years.

You're naming a bunch of shitty teams and shitty fan bases, so no surprise that they're not filling their stadiums

Texans are 3-3 with an electric QB. Something we haven't had in years so it's still surprising the stadium was empty. Oh, and the Browns

Anyone notice how packed so many stadiums were yesterday? Such as New Orleans, Denver, Kansas City, and New York?

a lot of those are also pictures taken at opportune moments for fake news sites to share and pat themselves on the back about

The only team of that list with a strong fan base is the ravens

The rest struggle to fill the seats all the time

They all look to be right at kick off, when fans are still either entering the stadium or at the concession stands. Looking at the average attendance for NFL games on ESPN.com, there is almost no difference in average attendance.

Sort of like how the SEC Rant tried to say LSU fans abandoned the Auburn-LSU game at halftime and never considered that maybe everyone stuck around for halftime to see Les Miles and the 2007 team get honored before taking a food/drink/bathroom break. But the cameras showed the 2nd half kickoff with an empty stadium.

Critical thinking doesn't seem to be taught to people who post on message boards.

LSU fans were abandoning the stadium in the first quarter. It was hot AF and LSU was getting their asses kicked.
