I also question that attendance is lacking in the NFL because of weather, weather does not drive attendance, winning does and loyal fan bases.  Look at Pittsburgh they have not won a playoff game since 2017 and only one league champ since then and have great attendance.  The Bengals last two years no playoffs and have had great attendance. Finally the trend of weather in states has been trending warmer winters, 21st century is becoming better weather to play football not worse.

Stands at Steelers games last year looked empty. Like old Paul Brown Stadium days. 

I do agree it seems a teams record would dictate if you'd sit in freezing temps or not.

The "it never mattered" would be to the argument of a domed stadium or open air stadium as in you don't have a preference, or think it makes much difference in your fan experience.
