Me: The best football is on Saturdays anyway.

You: Yep, that's when the English Premier League games are on.

Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Association football simply ain't close enough to the original mob football like American football is. :)

Look at the largest stadiums by capacity in the world. The largest is a soccer stadium in NK with 114K seats. After that numbers 2 through 9, 12, 14-15, 17-18, and 21 are all college football stadiums. Most of them full --- on the same day. So 2/3rds of the largest 21 stadiums in the world are for American college football, with 1/3 for soccer and cricket.

The largest English association football stadium comes it at...number 16. Why? Because the demand for association football just isn't there like it is for the Iron Bowl, or the 3rd Saturday in October, or Bama/LSU, or Michigan/Ohio State, or Auburn/Georgia, or the Largest Cocktail Party, or the Red River Rivalry.
