Empty Seats

[SunDodger]

Anyone else notice all the empty seats today in the NFL?



Home opener for Carolina playing the Rams. Not good.

maybe hurricane related ?

Why buy a ticket, drive to the game (a half hour or more), deal with traffic, pay too much $$$ to park, walk a hundred yards, stand in line to enter, pay ridiculous $$$ amounts for food & beer after standing in line for food, walk a hundred yards back to your car, sit in traffic, drive home (another 1/2 hour or more) so total of 5 hours or more.... to see a lousy team?

When you can see all the games you want cheaper, all the good teams, Rams, Chiefs, Cowboys, et al on a big screen HD TV at home, take a piss when you want to, see the replays, get the food out of the fridge, and hear from the broadcast team about everything?

That is what every NFL marketing department has been talking about for quite some time...

Hurricane maybe?

I do know millennials aren’t football fans

 

[Seymour]

Yeah, to go to a go is expensive - if you go with ur wife and two kids ur looking at 1k when its all said and done

I was somewhat relieved that Cuse lost to Maryland - if not, I'm flying to Syracuse for the Clemson game - plane tickets, hotel tickets, game tickets, etc and it's 2 dimes

They are cell phone and social media fans

Pay $ 40 to park, walk 1.1 MILES to the stadium, party all day, stand in line to enter, AND watch the Patriots manhandle the Steelers

PRICELESS

I would have to think twice before paying any money to watch any professiinal sports team...to many reasons to list. Serbone got it off to a good start ..

Last week I was thinking about going to that Carolina game cause I wanted to see the Rams play but being it was the home opener AND playing the SB runner up I didn't think I'd be able to get a ticket so I didn't even look into it.

When I turned on my TV I was like WTF!!! I couldn't believe it....

I'm now going to see what tickets are like to the Thu game vs TB

Also...I think people around here are just tired of Cam, we LOVE McCaffrey but its time for a change at QB, all he does is mope and whine and dress stupid (anyone have a pic of yesterdays outfit with that matty hair of his?)

Do we really need to see a pic of that ? LOL

Miami vs Baltimore pregame.

Its weird but dolphins games ALWAYS look like that when teams run on the field. People are out tailgating at that time (around 12:50), or trying to get to the stadium, or in the bathroom, concession, etc.

By the end of the 1st quarter, the seats fill up.

I wasnt at game yesterday so no clue what attendance was like

Hard Rock Stadium is a crap stadium for the Super Bowl. I saw the Marlins play there years ago before they built their new stadium. On the other hand the city of Miami is a great place to host a Super Bowl.

Have you been to the stadium in the past 3-4 years since they redid the stadium? Its actually beautiful how they did everything.

Going to be a GREAT venue for the super bowl.

I might do it for Free, but leaning more towards Hell to the Naw...

 

[Pulledclear]

Imagine the poor saps that paid for the privilege of going to the Dolphins game. Parking, concessions, tickets and burning up in that heat Fkng rubes.

Same topic but different sport....

Did any of you see the empty seats at the NASCAR race in Indianapolis?

At first, I though it was some kind of practice session...embarrassing.
