you’d have to break it down team by team to see the effect...if ticket resales for the NY Giants, Cowboys, Denver, Packer are down 17% that’s a huge indicator...teams like the Jets, Dolphins can’t move tickets..
empty seats do hurt the owners as i believe on average fans pay $75 per person on stadium concessions...
The Jets have been so bad for the last couple of years that they already had a problem with fans dropping their season tickets and refusing to make any more payments on their personal seat licenses (PSLs). Basically, they were daring the team to sue them to get the rest of the money they owed for the PSLs.
