It's not like some of these other teams don't have more demand. at 82,500 seats, we actually have the biggest, not second biggest stadium.

While the Cowboys have 80,000 NFL seats they have a lot of SRO spots: The stadium has a main seating capacity of 80,000 but is expandable to seat nearly 100,000 fans for large events such as the Super Bowl.

Great way to skew statistics My understanding is that the numbers come from a similar radius of 50 miles. If you have better numbers, please, offer them up. But don’t tell me everyone in the state of Maine counts as a Patriot fan. They’re not driving 5 hours each way every Sunday. SAR I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cowboys have tons of standing room so they end up with "attendance" way higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had NFL ticket for the past 3 seasons and I have noticed more and more empty seats in stadiums across the entire league. Honestly, the NFL experience is just a lot better at home. Not even close to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. And with 20 million people, you've got a million of them who quit on the Jets and Giants in 1980 and have been rooting for the likes of the Cowboys, Raiders, Dolphins, and Steelers ever since. Those weren't Cowboys fans who flew up from Dallas; they live in NY, NJ, and CT. All teams have enemy fans. The amount of 49ers fans two weeks ago invading Seattle is proof of that for those that still believe their 12th man BS. What matters is that due to the size of MetLife Stadium there are more Jets fans in our building than there are fans of the Patriots in their building. That is, for those that care about this. As long as I'm in my seats, I really don't care who else is sitting everywhere else. SAR I 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The eyes don't lie, there were a bunch of empty seats at most of the Jets games. Then again, from the looks of things on tv, there are a bunch of empty seats in every stadium. Attendance and sales are two different things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall 27th in attendance percentage. Giants were 28th. http://www.espn.com/nfl/attendance Don't cloud the issue with facts! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
