And if there’s always cities out there willing to pony up the market isn’t saturated. Only empty seat situations I hear about are the usual suspects (Jax, Tampa), and late in dead seasons. Eventually people do get tired of watching their team get their asses kicked.

If you measure attendance as a percentage of seats available, Tampa ranked #25 and Jacksonville ranked #27 I the NFL in 2015. The five worst teams (#28 through #32) were Cleveland, Tennessee, Washington (alarming, considering the size of the market and the team's playoff spot), Oakland, and St. Louis. Even Dallas only ranked #26, which shows how transient the NFL fan base is when the costs are high.

The numbers I would find most disturbing as an NFL executive are the Giants (#18) and Jets (#21). These two teams play in the biggest market, and they used to have waiting lists for season tickets that numbered in the tens of thousands and took decades to clear.
