I can't speak for anyone else but the NFL is screwed.
So long as the official "officials" are hell bent on manipulating the outcome of games instead of being impartial and calling the games honestly I'll not pay for a ticket to watch a game. The NFL is not interested in taking care of those that pay the NFL's bills (it's fans) instead they are only interested in participating in the social engineering the liberals in this country want shoved down our throats. They cater to the gamblers, homosexuals, feminists, and gang bangers. Hell... How many of their players are criminals?
Not something I want my children and grand children growing up to be.

It’s not only football. Notice the empty seats at NASCAR races?
Something you wouldn’t see a few years ago.
People hanging onto their money.

I think it’s the combination of the pink shoes and the freezing out of a Christian player like Tim Tebow. If he’s not welcome, neither am I.

“they are only interested in participating in the social engineering”

********
In recent years the NFL has become obsessed with PC oriented toward social engineering causes to the point that it now detracts from the game IMO. And, the frequency and number of advertisements during the games are simply excessive. The product has become contaminated with too many side interests. I don’t watch many games anymore.

In Green Bay, the fact the gametime temps will be south of 0 degrees might be a factor, even up there.

Good. Restore the game back to 1970s. The quarterback gets hit, wide receivers go over the middle at their own peril, linemen battle it out without fear of sissy flags by the officials and the fans get into the nameless park for under $20 to see a real game.
Screw the trendy pink shit. Parking is $2 and a beer is under $5 (still high for the times). If a “defenseless player” gets hit he gets penalized for not defending himself.

Selling out tickets to the Eagles game wasn’t a problem. Of course, we’re in a much more densely populated area than any of those other games. It seems to me that only the real die hards are actually going to the game. Most folks are like me and prefer to watch the game with their family and friends in the comfort of their own living room with their own beer and their own food. Less drunks and less idiots. We can rewind the game if we want to see something. With the invention of the big screen TV, it’s just much more pleasant to stay home than it is to go down to the Linc.

I equate them to gladiators games. My own opinion is they had to make a vehicle to elevate hood rats to make them heroes to the hood kids since education and success in that arena isn’t the first choice.

I estimate I would probably respect about 10% of the men on the field in regards to their decency and what virtue they bring to humanity. I’m not going to shell out several hundred dollars in this crap economy to make millions for the other 90%.

Women don’t like displaying their personal items in a clear plastic bag?

Ticket prices too high for the product delivered? (I’ve noticed a lot of empty seats at most of bowl games, as well.)

Concern that the scoring is being manipulated?

It’s expensive, and with Obamacare looming, people are worried about their finances.

Clearly the problem with the NFL is that Hockey offeres a much better product.

Go Bolts!

Someone here doesn’t understand simple economics. With prices set above the equilibrium point, there will be a surplus of unsold tickets. Drop the price, and those tickets will sell. And next time, don’t set prices so high.
