    Atlanta United had 70K at their home game this week.

    In 5 years MLS will outdraw NFL for the live experience

    Only if you get me tickets to a Packers, Titans, Broncos, Ravens, Patriots, Seahawks or Eagles game. All have waiting lists over 10 years...and that's probably not even all of them.

    those waiting lists can shrivel up quickly

    packers waiting list is only that long because they have split tickets with 3 milwaukee games... so someone can have 3 tickets/year and claim they are a season ticket holder, even though they get 1 preseason game and 2 regular season games

    They're filthy rich, and couldn't care less if anyone came. Hell, they would probably enjoy not having to pay the workers. Concessions and tickets are a drop in the bucket for them.

    Well, unless you're the Jags or something like that.

    it's crazy how some of these college games get bonkers attendance... notre dame vs georgia the average ticket price was over 600 and they aren't really rivals or close to each other, in what was a pretty meaningless game

    yeah really

    get subsidized for a $1.5 billion stadium for 8 home games... numbers don't even make sense at $300/ticket if you didn't have to pay the players

    We use to be able to go to games and sit through the national anthem without getting a bunch of shit. Now, we just watch from home to avoid all the hassle. Also, our son is out of work and we like to be home for him.

    I always wondered why certain teams from cold weather states play out doors instead of indoors. Sounds like a waste of money when their are only 8 home games.They could be putting butts in seats for concerts and other events during fall and winter months. I guess if Cleveland ever built a indoor stadium they would have to have a superbowl to pay for it which will never happen. No one wants to come to Cleveland for a Superbowl. Even Detroit has hosted two superbowls before.

    Here in LA the Stadiums are empty mainly because both the Rams and Chargers suck!! Rams brought in a few more fans in this last home game loss over the weekend but only because they won the season opener and it was a late afternoon game....

    USC pretty much sold out the coliseum in their game over the weekend but the Rams barely get over half the seats filled.. Lol.. Chargers play in a dump and everyone that lives in LA doesn't even know how to get there to see them lose.. ..

    I almost went to the Rams game Sunday.. My bud flaked last minute because he was hung over from the night before so I passed.. Luckily because I probably would have loaded up on the Rams and lost if I went..

    true, but a lot of these stadiums are in places they have no need for an entertainment venue, or no use for it

    green bay isn't going to get any big concerts, there's only 100,000 people within a reasonable drive

    The brilliant picture smart TV's, DVR's and just the advancement of all electronics at home these days makes it a great place to watch all games.. Who needs to go to the game and blow a benny?

    LA ticket prices are too much to go to the sporting events, traffic is brutal, easier just kick at home and watch on your sofa and drink a beer..

    Going to the games are over rated these days if you've been there done that.. My take anyways living in a major city like LA.. I don't get that motivated to go to games anymore to be honest..

    Tail gating in the parking lots with the boys before the game starts is more fun then actually going to the games. Mingling with drunk fans and what not is always amusing..

    Watching games at the jumping sports bars and drinking pitchers of beers might be more fun then actually going to the games as well.. Those budwieser and Miller girls that walk around and pass out pins and stickers are always hot at the bars also.. ..

    Just my 2 cents..

    that's a really good point

    and we're already at healthcare costs being 20% of gdp, if that keeps going up then people will keep getting replaced by robots or self-serve kiosks

    the drinks are cheaper, the food is better, the parking is easier, and you're not stuck sitting 2 inches away from people on either side

    totally agree with you at this point

    the place we go sometimes for packers games even gives out free green shots when they get a td
