81% attendance, 426,207 people total for 2017.

Looking back over the years since Dalton has been here we have been between 25-32 basically in attendance.
Even back in the Palmer days when we had 100%+ attendance we only barely cracked the teens 1 year (19th).

a bit overblown to me.. most of the years in our playoff runs, we were getting over 90 percent attendance that is what I look at more than where we rank... also apples to oranges when you compare total attendance due to stadium size.. Bengals are in bottom half in capacity  plus one of the smallest markets in the NFL.

Now with that said, last year for sure was a bad year overall compared to previous years.. but if MB was as cheap as some try to make him out to be.. he would have fired Lewis just for gate receipts but he did not... so you can;t say he keep Lewis to increase attendance that is for sure....
