Redskins used to have 30 year waiting lists - now they struggle to get 80% capacity, and many ticket buyers are from the opposing team.
and that’s from a boycott or having a shit team?
My SIL got me and my sons tickets to the Redskins-Broncos game on the 24th. Our tickets were standing-room-only. What a joke! We could pretty pick our seats. The stadium was 50-60% full. After paying $5 for a mediocre cup of coffee, I don't know if I'll ever go to another NFL game.
The quality of the athletes and the quality of the play isn't the same, but IMO college football is far more interesting to watch.
Yes but the Redskins moved from 50K-seat RFK to 80K-seat FedEx Field, which is also a major pain-in-the-ass to get in and out of .... and they have been solidly mediocre for ten seasons. The halcyon Gibbs days are further and further in the past.
“Redskins used to have 30 year waiting lists”
My understanding is if there is a turnover of 5% of seats a year, then a “30 year waiting list” represents 250% capacity demand. A turnover rate of 3% would equate to a 190% capacity demand. A thirty year waiting list can disappear rather quickly with declining demand and increased turnover.
Many season ticket holders sell a portion of their tickets. If demand drops the sold price below face, then their costs to attend the games they want to attend skyrocket.
I am not sure how good the 30 year waiting list estimates are. It seems to me to be a bit of hype. I don’t trust the NFL or the press. It will be interesting to see how long the NFL teams can maintain the 30 year waiting list story in the face of declining demand..
If you’re a man and you wear a sportsball jersey with another mans name on it, you are a cuck.
If you put yourself on any type of waiting list for season tickets, you are a stupid sucker.
