Empty Seats Plague NFL Stadiums in Week One of Season

I watched this game. The stadium was packed at kick-off.

It had been raining hard well before kickoff and did throughout the game.

The Ravens were crushing an obviously inept opponent.

So people went home.

The image posted here proves that people did not want to sit out in a hard rain to watch a game already won by their team.

Good...organizations that get woke deserve to go broke. This is what winning looks like.

It was raining like a Hillary in Baltimore yesterday. If I saw that picture on a sunny day, I would be much more optimistic that the people have had enough.

[poconopundit]

Good one, Frank.

[Gratia]

I watched on TV and the stadium was packed at kick-off.

Seems counter-productive for Gateway to use misleading evidence to make a point.

[poconopundit]

Thanks for correcting this hype story.

I will now no longer be tempted by Gateway Pundit’s click bait antics.

Oh, and if you check Nike’s stock price, they are doing just fine.

I believe one of the biggest things that is keeping the NFL from going off the cliff is Fantasy Football.

Even people who know little or nothing are playing at work and keeping an eye on the games.

[SaveFerris]

Yeah was wondering that in #17.

Screw the NFL, those exposed TV wires creeping down the wall would drive me nuts. There’s an $10 easy fix that can be done by anyone.

Political correctness and anti Americanism is detrimental to a businesses health, yet they do it all the time and they suffer the consequences.

They’ve done that for years with MLS games (soccer). The Red Bulls played in Giants Stadium here in NJ, and were filling maybe 10,000 of nearly 80,000 seats. Cameras were trained on the field, never panning the stands, and then they built a smaller stadium nearby and play there.

NFL===> National Flossing League?

[pookie18]

Thanks, FrankR!

[varon]

The cameras and audio equipment would be set up in such a way as to make those places appear noisier and more crowded than they actually were. I see the NFL trying to pull that same tactic in the near future.

Something like this.....?

[dennisw]

Total interest in anything NFL......screw em and the kneelers PLUS their taxpayer ripoff stadium scams.

[OKSooner]

FU Kenny Stills. Don’t come back...

[uncbob]

Headline is Total BS

[tomkat]

If the players stood proudly for our Flag and Anthem, and it is all shown on broadcast, maybe ratings could come back?

Not here they won't, Mr. President.
Never again.

[tomkat]

those exposed TV wires creeping down the wall

Roger that !

It is the third quarter in a blow out game. What was the attendance at kick off?
