Yes...I just saw the half empty stadiums in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Attendance announced as “sold out”...based on ticket sales. However, the stadiums are empty based on people not showing up...who wants to be lectured.

Get real.

Let's look at FACTS.

You mention Los Angeles...

REALLY???

32 teams in the league and you post LA as your proof.

In 2014, LA was #30 for attendance with 57,018 avg attendance.
Meanwhile Dallas was 90,069

In 2015, LA was #32, with 52,402 avg.
Dallas was 91,459

2016, LA was #31, with 57,024 avg.
Dallas was 92,539

Two teams, 2 extremes in attendance.
I doubt it has anything to do with product or market interest.

So while you're touting LA, one of the worst attended teams in the NFL, I'll post the entire NFL stats.

NFL Attendance
2010: 17.01 Million
2011: 17.12
2012: 17.18
2013: 17.30
2014: 17.36
2015: 17.26
2016: 17.79

Attendence may be up, but the much-more-important TV RATINGS are far, far down.

Your stats are interesting, except there was no NFL team in Los Angeles in 2015. According to ESPN, the Rams had the second highest attendance in the NFL for 2016 at 84,457 per game. Another source puts them in seventh place at 74,131 per game. Perhaps that's the difference between tickets sold and actual butts in the seats.

Where did you get your numbers that the Rams are the worst draw in the NFL?
