That's so sad. Joel Meyers deserves better. 33% drop from last year. Which means it was only around 10K then which is also pathetic.

Bruh I live in Atlanta and try to watch every game the Pels play. I know this season is disappointing but support your team through the thick and thin...

Whenever I'm in Nola at a bar and there's an away game, you almost have to bribe bartenders to turn the game on. And someone will invariably bitch "I was watching that..." Dude it was two random teams playing a Tuesday night game on ESPN. You don't give a shite about either.

True

More and more are streaming anyway so actual viewership is misleading.

They should try not being terrible

It's still pathetic, but streaming has really blown up over the last year or so.

I remember watching 240p streams that would constantly have to buffer my first year out of state for school during AD's rookie year.

Now it's fairly easy to find HD/near HD quality streams.

That and FSGO, which wasn't available until recently.

They're not the Sixers or nets

Now that's abysmal

I love how the cities of the Panthers and Broncos are at the bottom as well.
This is 100% directly tied to the only thing that can distract us from average football, is winning basketball. I wish those tv numbers mattered less, but they are gonna be a great argument to move these teams away in 10 years if we hit a down few years of football too.

Philly and NYC are also several times bigger NOLA.

Philly metro has more people than all of Louisiana and half of Mississippi combined.

Damn, never had this problem in BR, and I know that this place is far less of a Pels town.

Yeah it looks like there are at least 5 teams With worse ratings. Pels at 1.11 and not in the bottom 5. So that's a plus. But still 7K seems so ridiculously tiny. I'm sure streaming does have a good bit to do with it

You probably haven't had the problem because you aren't even old enough to get into a bar...

I don't see it as a big deal tbh

Everybody is cutting the cord and going to streams and such.

We're a state of bandwagoning front runners
