63,621 idiots
 
That's how many people were at Metrodome for the Vikings/Chiefs preseason game. Hey let's watch a bunch of scrubs play a meaningless game.
Viking fans are delusional. Is it like this in other states?

No, nobody went to the other games.

Hey that's funny. I'm asking if they fill the stadiums.

The Packers filled the stadium for their last game. I don't think other teams do though.
One thing to keep in mind is that a lot of teams combine preseason games with season tickets and other package deals so it is basically free for a lot of those people to go to the game.

Steelers do. Someone gave me free tickets one year and I went for giggles. I didn't stay long but it was packed for kickoff.

Well, sure. I meant "free" in the same way that you get "free" long distance on your cell phone plan.

I understand that they're included in the season ticket package. I just don't understand how that many people don't have anything better to do on a (rare) beautiful Minnesota summer night.

10 games? That including preseason tickets, because, after all, there are only 10 games in the season.

I don't know what's worse- the 73,000 people at the Panthers game tonight or the fact that I'm watching it on tv. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Looked like a crapload of folks at the Niners-Raiders game.

The Packers sold out in under 3 hours for the scrimmage they had against the Bills two weeks ago. 60,000 people, not going to a "game", but a scrimmage.

"Announced" attendance at the Texans-Broncos game was just north of 70,000. I was at the game (was given the tix), and if there were 45,000 asses in the seats I'd be surprised.

Re: 63,621 idiots
 
Ticket Sold &lt; People who actaully attended. Oh and I would say that this is normal for the 1st football game in the area in 8 months.

I think that was his point. The Seahawks gouge their season ticket holders for 2 preaseason games at regular season prices. It is a [censored] outrage.

In Green Bay, preseason games are part of season-ticket packages.

Most season-ticket holders sell their preseason tickets to people who can't get tickets to regular season games.
