Not just in the NFL. Watch a college game and if you aren't a big program, the stadium looks like there are about 1000 people in it.
Lets be honest its not good for a winning team. No doubt the projected forecast didn't help.
Honestly though tickets across the board are becoming harder and harder to sell. We paid 1/2 of face value for seats in Atlanta for the Bengals game and there were thousands available on Stub Hub.
The cost of tickets, parking, beer, obnoxious fans and sitting in front of a big screen with the NFL Sunday Ticket are all factors.
Aside from allowing betting at the stadium I don't know what the long term fix is.
There will always be die hards like me that will attend hell or high water but Im the exception.
