The NFL regular season is nearly finished, but with only three more weeks to go, Week 14 is still “Weak 14” for many teams suffering attendance woes.

I’m not sure how attendance is measured. Total tickets sold? Gate receipts? Just did a search and found some tickets going for less than the price of a beer. No takers. I believe NASCAR is going through the same thing.

The NFL cares about eyeballs on TVs, not asses in seats.

know what?   as the asses go, so go the eyeballs.

lack of eyeballs is easier to hide than lack of asses, but eventually sponsors find out...

Good. Scrap all sports in America. Get it out of the schools and make it a community thing. Locally, our teachers make peanuts while the high school coaches live like kings. (A little hyperbole, but, still.)

the nfl hid it for years with long pants, sleeves and helmets. dread hair and player 'celebrity' began to shove it in our face; then anti-american outbursts  -primarily kneeling-  broke the back.

2005 - Attendance figures that count tickets sold, not turnstile clicks, make it hard for fans to reconcile what they hear with the empty seats they see

The NFL traditionally has permitted a team to announce whatever attendance figures it chose, including no-shows. However, the league distributed a memo this month encouraging teams to limit their announcement to tickets sold. “When no-shows become a significant factor,” the memo read, “clubs should respond factually to inquiries from the media.”

After living in the SF Bay area for a long time I have friends that are season ticket holders for the 49ers. They are feed up with the NFLs antics and used to be able to sell tickets for specific games in the secondary market. This season they can’t even sell them at a heavily discounted rate.

The photo is worthless without context.

The Falcons won in a 20 pt. blowout. If that shot was taken in the last 5 min. of the game the crowd likely bailed to try and get a jump on the legendarily bad Atlanta traffic.

Personally I wish that the NFL and Chick-Fil-A were both being boycotted. But my eyes say it ain’t happening.

NASCAR's problems were caused by years under the stewardship of a drunken, pill addicted, third generation owner.

The NFL told us to go away. We went away. Where’s the mystery - other than that the Kneelers have been surprised to learn that there are not enough sympathetic Leftists out there to fill their stadiums?

Football is better watching on TV. I’ve attended one NFL game and I was so far from the field that it didn’t take long to be bored.

Try going to a HS football game (playoffs are hitting state-level semis next week). Tickets are way cheaper, the worst seats are about as far from the field as some of the best seats in a professional stadium (maybe not in playoffs though, our last two games were Baylor stadium and then the NRG Arena [Houston Texans]).

However, if you need a beer, you'll probably have to stick with one of the local college teams' games.
