The article disingenuously cites the Bills-Colts game as evidence of declining attendance. The game was played in a heavy snowstorm, and probably would have had a lot of empty seats even if there was no national anthem controversy.
The Army-Navy game was held in a snow storm Saturday, and that stadium was packed.
The weather may have played a part in the Bills-Colts game, but the number of empty seats has been increasing all season. And not with just the Bill-Colts.
