This time, Mr. Abela said there were around 30 people. Over the last year, Mr. Wright and his staff have implemented a series of changes aimed at improving the fan experience. Those differences include a coed dance team rather than cheerleaders, a drumming line with no marching band and electronic parking passes that contain information on which road and lot they should enter. Not every change has been a hit. But the smoke has been so overwhelming some players were lost in the cloudlike fog.
A team spokesperson said the issue was due to high humidity on the field and there are new measures in place to prevent such an overflow. On game days, Mr. Abela said. And they do do it.
They did it last week. If Washington can reach an agreement with Maryland, Virginia or the District on building a new stadium, is it time to think small? Sorry, something went wrong with the copy but here is the link for you.

To check on that game between the Cowboys and the Fins, we'd need to get someone on the phone at the Dallas Star or whatever the paper is now , as the database is not available online to people who do not have a Dallas library card.
No kidding. You can clearly see that there is over fans there so this is false. I think we have corrected ourselves about this, though I think it would be nice if we had a sentence in there that says that this claimed lowed attendance is just plain false. Thanks for the link! Good digging, might I say. Thanks a lot for sharing about this place.
I would like to visit this place after reading this blog. Anyway Thank you. Final Standings By Year. What is the lowest attendance ever for an NFL game?
Well, who knows. It is not an easy data point to mine. But we doormat fans love these kinds of stats, so pull up your Barcalounger, crack open a cellar temp Ranier, and open a can of peanuts as we take a walk through low attendance history.
Now, on Wiki Answers, someone posted that in , the year of the NFL player strike, the Dolphins played the Cowboys in front of fans. That would be Doormat history as the lowest attendance ever for an NFL game. But hey, that was Wiki Answers. Yes, hardcore fans want the experience- the tailgating, face painting, etc. I last went to a game on Thanksgiving night over a decade ago. Not to mention, if you sit in the high sections its just not worth it.
For families its crazy expensive. There are several factors to me. One who can blame Oakland for a decline, the team is leaving the city. I am surprised they got as big of a crowd as they did. In addition, ticket prices are outrageous so it is hard for people with families to afford to go. I also hate to say it but a lot of the games are boring. The rule changes have turned some people off and to me while I prefer the NFL game to college football, it is hard to deny how great the gameday atmosphere is at college stadiums.
So many NFL stadiums have no traditions. I like team chants, prefer live music to the piped in music which is basically the same at all the stadiums , it would be nice to go back to a 15 minute half time, I know it is just 3 minutes more than the current 12, but it is hard to go to the restroom or get concessions at the half and then get back in your seat and have to miss half the third quarter.
When has Atlanta ever supported much of anything in terms of Pro sports consistently? Buffalo has great fans. Should have saved the money and stayed home to watch it. Lower the darn prices and quit ripping fans off with outrageous greed for game tickets, parking spaces, and watery beer. Well I guess 66, people do on average. I would rather watch it on tv.
Best seat in the house. I went to Arrowhead with my then 9 year old son and my dad 4 years ago and had a moron behind us throw up all over the back of our seats in the 1st quarter. It will keep going down especially with the teams that are poor year after year after year. Simply costs too much to attend, the TV experience has much improved, and there are also far more other options to entertain yourself if your team sucks than there used to be in the 60ss.
With parking and concessions, they will make up the money. The in-home experience keeps getting better and cheaper. The in-stadium experience does not. Not too tough to figure out. The other issue has to do with the price gouging. This was from the team site itself, not a resale. Fans of good teams get punished at the ticket office.
Two half-decent tickets to an NFL game, plus parking, plus a meal, adds up to enough money to go buy yourself a brand new 55 inch TV, which you can use to watch every game for free without having to worry if some drunken idiot is gonna spill his beer on you or try to fight you in the parking lot. You see this with all sports. It seems to be somewhat generational. Going to a local game was just something people did. But now we are in the highlight generation.
They can watch the games or highlights on their phone or tablet and not fight the crowd or traffic and still talk about the game like they were there. I can easily see small seating stadiums being a new trend in all of sports over the next 20 years. I also think the HDTVs play a role as well. That in-game experience costs hundreds of dollars for a family, and it often includes cursing drunks and the threat of violence. Plus, numerous people are falling-down drunk, belligerent, etc.
The stadium experience has been degraded by greedy owners. I live in Canada and have been to a few NFL games in my life. This year, I was going to take a trip to Foxborough to see the Cowboys. This is why attendance is down. Not surprising at all. The games are too expensive and the home experience is better for many fans. Large screen HD, temp controlled environment with cheaper food and no idiots to deal with other than your uncle who will leave eventually.
Not hard to see why attendance is down for pretty much all live sporting events really. Could it be that attendance is down due to the latest Patriot scandal? It cost roughly Thats for locals, if your out of towners you have food, maybe car rental, and hotel. The living room is looking better everyday. They need to go to a salary cap by position, where a players salary actual has a top out limit.
As a Steelers season ticket holder, we had too many night and especially week night games. Attendance is terrible at those with everyone having to work in the morning. Give us some more 1 and home games. Everyone hated getting flexed into night games this year. It would be interesting to see the percentages of income by source that teams bring in. NFL needs to step up and admit that they are controlling the outcome of these games.
Looks a lot like WWE. Keep in mind that this is attendance, not sales. That speaks even more to the awfulness of the stadium experience.
I personally find attending games to be a bit draining with too many dislikes. Most seats have a bad view and whenever a big play happens, everyone jumps up, so you have to as well. Can everybody just sit? I usually find myself watching most of the plays on the jumbo-tron.
No, thanks. I will stay home and watch it on TV. Every year the game becomes less and less for the those who attend the games and more and more for the television audience. However, the NFL has become very focused on the short game and this could hurt them big one day. Just look over on stubhub. A lot of tickets for this weekend, many at face value, remain unsold on Friday afternoon.
I cant bring myself to spend the money to go to a game that is going to be decided by either a Ref on the field or some guy nobody knows in NY. I cant even stand to watch anymore really. It cost way too much. The tickets are expensive, the snacks and beverages are expensive, and the parking is expensive. Sitting in the hot sun is terrible, sitting in the blistering cold is terrible too.
Going through security is terrible. I hope it continues to decline. A bunch of owners and players that care about themselves and not the integrity of the game. These were the cheap seats too. Smaller Stadiums is the way to go ticket prices will stay high, lower cost to build The rest of watch from homes unless we really want to go for the experience.
Over priced tickets. Over priced food. Paying for parking. Free at home on HD. How really hard is this to figure out? My father first got season tickets in We have attended well over games over the decades. I will never attend another NFL game. Between the outrageous pricing and having to spend an extra hours just to attend in person an event that already takes 3 hours, I have had enough. Supply and demand, the basic staple of economics. I thought these owners were business guys.
